First of all, Happy April Fools day. I thought about writing a fake-trial post. But thought the better of it. I normally tell you about a single study on Monday. This week, I want to alert you to the potential bigness of next weekend, when the American College of Cardiology meets in Atlanta. Sunday is an especially important day, as we will hear the results of three clinical trials—each of which could change cardiology in major ways.

Why start this series with the RCT? RCTs are used to determine if one treatment is better than another. They are clinical experiments that provide medicine’s most reliable data.

Individually, their design may lead them to include important biases and not be generalizable.

There are technical aspects of this paper. We hit on some (not a lot) of them. The gist of it though is really important when we look at evidence.
