To the Editor:
In the last months of 1999, young cardiologists were involved in the Community Projection of Cardiology (PROCCARD, for its acronym in Spanish). Their enthusiasm for the prevention of cardiovascular disease was due to the resounding success of the eminent Spanish cardiologist Valentin Fuster Carulla in the United States of America (USA) for his innovative concepts of "vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque" in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease, which enriched the Interventional Cardiology, and reaffirmed the importance of controlling coronary risk factors to prevent it.
