The active involvement of primary care physicians is necessary in the diagnosis and treatment of elevated blood cholesterol.

To determine current treatment thresholds and establish factors that distinguish physicians who are more likely to initiate therapy at lower cholesterol values, 119 primary care physicians in four northern California communities were surveyed.
