Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random

The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...

Angiotensin receptor blockers may increase risk of myocardial infarction: unraveling the ARB-MI paradox.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) play an important role in the management of patients at increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. ACEIs reduce both myocardial infarction (MI) and mortality in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure or asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction,1 as evidenced by a class I recommendation in the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American He...

Do angiotensin receptor blockers increase the risk of myocardial infarction? Angiotensin Receptor Blockers May Increase Risk of Myocardial Infarction Unraveling the ARB-MI Paradox

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) play an important role in the management of patients at increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. ACEIs reduce both myocardial infarction (MI) and mortality in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure or asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction,1 as evidenced by a class I recommendation in the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American He...

Are treatment effects of ACEI and ARB in post-MI patients homogeneous?

he outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) has been substantially improved by the introduction of reperfusion therapy and its continuous refinement. Current reperfusion methodology salvages more than 50% of the ischemic myocardium from infarction in approximately half of acute MI patients without cardiogenic shock. 1 However, in 25% of acute MI patients, myocardial salvage by ...
