About this episode

Tucker Goodrich and Nick Jikomes discuss the misrepresentation of research findings in cardiology guidelines.

Introduction Nick asked me to do a YouTube livestream to go over some research he had been doing. He drilled down on a reference in a high-profile cardiology guideline article and discovered that the authors had inverted the research finding in the referenced paper to claim the inverse of what it actually showed. We discussed this, and then I gave some more context about the matter and one of the authors.
