FDA study said to show Avandia risk - Yahoo! News
While I appreciate the information, I think it is interesting to note that the well respected cardiologist Steve Nissen is again involved in this. He was one of the key folks involved in the Vioxx analysis that showed it increased the risk of heart attack.
I can’t help but wonder though if you are a cardiologist and you are looking for cardiac events, if you night not be predisposed to finding such events. I’m not saying that is what happened but it struck me that we all view life through our own experiences and this creates a sort of lens through which we interpret life’s events.
for mre on this story look at some of the links I have listed below. Don’t trust me, read what others are saying and come to your own conclusions.
