Doc,

Can you shed any light on how common/typical it is for a patient with a cardiac history (as in the abstract) to be prescribed an epi pen? Is that considered a contraindication, a relative contraindication, a strong relative contraindication...? Has thinking/protocol on that subject changed since 1993?

Also, HTH? Don't know that one...

Thanks again. Your time and effort are greatly (Greatly!) appreciated!

ETA: Should have read better; patient in abstract didn't have cardiac history, had "numerous risk factors..."
