A Wisconsin-led project to encourage doctors to do stress tests, angioplasty, surgery and other procedures for chest pain and heart disease only when appropriate has received a $15.8 million federal grant.

The project, Smarter Management and Resource Use for Today's Complex Cardiac Care, or SMARTCare, was formed by groups including the Wisconsin Medical Society and the Wisconsin chapter of the American College of Cardiology.

The grant will help cardiologists at five sites in Wisconsin and five sites in Florida apply new guidelines on appropriate use of treatment options for chest pain and heart disease.
