Summary:The nonmedical community has long recognized the well-observed fact that both medical and nonmedical matters can be expressed in gradations. Witness the continuum from hot to cold, from mad to glad, from fat to thin as but a few simple confirmations. In contrast, the medical establishment, by act if not by word, still struggles to establish absolutes. This is well-exemplified by such diagnoses as diabetes mellitus or no diabetes mellitus even though common sense would suggest that there must be degrees of this metabolic problem (possibly 21 or 32 percent diabetes mellitus). This report underlines the presence and importance of degrees of lipid metabolism versus degrees of electrocardiopathy. Additionally, this experiment suggests that such relationships become more meaningful as one focuses onto the subtleties of such a relationship.
