Along with James, I would like to welcome you to this new endeavor. One of our goals for this site is to provide fellows with access to important articles — be they cutting-edge technology or reviews of important issues within cardiology — from a wide array of sources. We may refer to stories from various journals as well as the other areas of CardioExchange.<\/p>\n
On the prevention group site is a great example of a topic important to us all — the role of aspirin in primary prevention<\/a> of coronary disease. The blog<\/a> by Dr. Foody provides a great starting point for discussion as well as several links to a great deal of information.<\/p>\n From a fellow perspective, this is a great time to explore why we do what we do and what data supports standard (or what we think is standard) practice. In addition to aspirin for primary prevention – who should or should not get it – many other controversies abound: the duration of antiplatelet therapy post PCI, the timing of ICD implantation post MI, and how we apply available data to both the general and to an aging population, just to name a few. <\/p>\n I hope that these pages will give fellows a forum to discuss their thoughts on these issues and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Along with James, I would like to welcome you to this new endeavor.
