The pace of therapeutic advances in the treatment ofcardiovascular diseases is rapid, and new clinically-relevantinformation appears with such frequency that it can be extremelychallenging for clinicians to keep up.
Still, knowledge and interpretation of major clinical trials iscrucial for the range of clinicians who manage cardiovascularpatients, especially since important trial evidence often needs tobe implemented soon after it is published.
