      Qi Che, MD, PhD, Martin J. Schreiber, MD and Mohammed A. Rafey, MD, MS
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 533-542; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09030

      The outcomes of clinical trials have been disappointing, and the value of beta-blockers in treating hypertensive patients who do not have compelling indications for them has been questioned.

    1. Ablation of atrial fibrillation: What can we tell our patients?
      Punam Chowdhury, MD, William R. Lewis, MD, Robert A. Schweikert, MD and Jennifer E. Cummings, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 543-550; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08091

      More patients are asking their physicians about radiofrequency ablation. Although it has shown promising clinical results, some patients may have unrealistic expectations.

      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 525-532; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.06043

      MRI might be indicated for workup of possible breast cancer, but not for screening except in women at high risk.

      A reader comments on the need to avoid unnecessary testing in medicine, as illustrated in an article about a man with uncontrolled diabetes (July 2009).

  7. Lewis, William R.

    1. Ablation of atrial fibrillation: What can we tell our patients?
      Punam Chowdhury, MD, William R. Lewis, MD, Robert A. Schweikert, MD and Jennifer E. Cummings, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 543-550; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.08091

      More patients are asking their physicians about radiofrequency ablation. Although it has shown promising clinical results, some patients may have unrealistic expectations.

    1. Should catheter ablation be the first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation?
      Bruce D. Lindsay, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 503-506; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.09070

      Antiarrhythmic drugs should remain the first line of treatment until trials prove otherwise.

  9. Listinsky, Jay

    1. Role of MRI in breast cancer management
      Louie Enriquez, MD and Jay Listinsky, MD, PhD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 525-532; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.76a.06043

      MRI might be indicated for workup of possible breast cancer, but not for screening except in women at high risk.

  10. Mandell, Brian F.

    1. Vertebroplasty, evidence, and health care reform: What is quality care?
      Brian F. Mandell, MD, PhD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine September 2009, 76 (9) 497-502; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm/76a.09001

      Two recent trials found that a popular procedure for fixing vertebral fractures lacks efficacy. Like it or not, in the future, such evidence is going to affect whether insurers pay for care.
