    1. Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: Using echocardiography to guide length of therapy
      Alice I. Kim, MD, Karim A. Adal, MD and Steven K. Schmitt, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2003, 70 (6) 517-533;

      Empiric long-term antibiotic therapy is no longer uniformly recommended for all cases of S aureus bacteremia, although experts disagree about the optimal length of therapy.

    1. The Lescol Intervention Prevention Study (Lips)
      Adrian W. Messerli, MD, Herbert D. Aronow, MD, MPH and Dennis L. Sprecher, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2003, 70 (6) 561-566;

      The trial showed a significant reduction in cardiac events in patients who received a statin drug immediately after a successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Currently, this is seldom done.

    1. Atrial fibrillation: Rate control is as good as rhythm control for some, but not all
      Mina K. Chung, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2003, 70 (6) 567-573;

      Many clinicians are questioning the need to restore or maintain sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation. What did four recent trials show ?

      John D. Clough, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2003, 70 (6) 487;

      In atrial fibrillation, rhythm control seemed “obviously” better than rate control-until randomized trials were done.

      Raising an isolated low HDL-C level: Why, how, and when?
      Michael Miller, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine June 2003, 70 (6) 553-560;

      No current therapy is optimal, but many can modestly increase HDL-C. The decision to treat depends on the patient’s risk for coronary disease.
