In a number of double-blinded, clinical trials in cardiology,1-4 the occurrence of a nonfatal myocardial infarction has served as a secondary end point and, in at least one,5 as the primary end point. We believe that this practice may be inappropriate. An assumption underlying the separate analysis of nonfatal infarction is that there may be pathophysiological differences between fatal and nonf...

متن کاملRepeat revascularization is a faulty end point for clinical trials.
Coronary revascularization is performed to reduce myocardial ischemia and its sequelae of death, myocardial infarction, and anginal symptoms. A successful procedure increases the patient’s quality of life, length of life, or both. Clinical trials of coronary revascularization should measure these outcomes to assess progress toward the goals of therapy. Death is an important and unequivocal outc...
