A few years ago, there was an article written in the Los Angeles Times titled... "Some heart patients do better when the cardiologist is away." It was based on a study showing certain high-risk heart patients stand a better chance of survival if they go to a teaching hospital when all the cardiologists have left town. Here's what the study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found: "the survival rate for high-risk cardiac patients rose 10% when they were admitted to a major teaching hospital on days that a national cardiology meeting was in session." Here's the thing... That's a "tremendous reduction in mortality" better than most of the medical interventions that exist to treat these conditions." Why is that? In this podcast we talk about 8 heart related things that cardiologists got COMPLETELY WRONG. There aren't a lot of specialties that have been wrong as many times as cardiology. And...it's not like they're only wrong about little things. No, they've been wrong about huge things that have drastically impacted public health.
