Anatomical versus functional testing for coronary artery disease
In English nursery rhyme, it is traditional for a Duke to have 10 000 men. NEJM has published a trial from Duke University that recruited 10 000 men and women, and allowed in a further three for extra measure. These 10 003 recruits were those “whose physicians believed that nonurgent, noninvasive cardiovascular testing was necessary for the evaluation of suspected coronary artery disease.” That is a fate which befalls a staggering four million Americans every year. These people were randomised to be investigated either by coronary computed tomographic angiography or functional testing, which in almost ever...

However, for some patients who've had a previous cardiovascular event, a lower target of less than 130/80 mm Hg may be appropriate. The statement cautions against lowering bloo...
