CV risk Background Data Focussed Commentary
We have produced data-focussed commentaries to highlight areas where there appear to be differences between the evidence-base, as described elsewhere on this floor, and current clinical practice. These resources can be read on the screen by clicking the 'flash' version, or by downloading and printing the 'PDF' version.
This commentary covers some fascinating epidemiology data showing the cardiovascular epidemic rising and now falling dramatically. This is contrasted with some high-level data on medicines usage. Enjoy!
Data focussed commentaries are written in the context of careful consideration of the available evidence. There are limits to the interpretation of data and assuming it is a true reflection of clinical practice. Nevertheless, we regard the issues represented within data focussed commentaries as being legitimate issues for debate.
