Approach to evidence-based medicine in cardiovascular diseases / 复旦学报（医学版）

ABSTRACT

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) requires integration of available ‘best’ clinical evidence,clinician's judgment as well as patient's wishes and expectations.In this paper,we addressed the EBM framework for clinical decision making clinical practice in cardiovascular diseases.Evidence evaluated and interpreted are crucial tools for EBM.EBM has had a profound impact on the treatment of cardiovascular diseases,and confirmed the efficacy of certain controversial interventions.On the other hand,certain widely used conventional strategies for cardiovascular diseases had been proved to be ineffective.Yet,the scientific evidence from China is under resourced to impact the ability to achieve effective actions.We suggest to carry out more high-quality randomized clinical trials to support effective EBM clinical practice.
