Evidence-based medicine (EBM) requires thorough utilization of the best data available at the time of the act of prescription: a transversal reading of the major clinical trials, given overwhelming approval by physicians who understand and use it in their daily decision-making, is imperative.

For more than 20 years, Professor Robert Haïat (former President of the Société Française de Cardiologie) and Dr. Gérard Leroy (Head of the cardiology unit at Saint-Germain-en-Laye hospital) have analyzed the major clinical trials in cardiovascular therapy. Their publications — over 300,000 copies read by specialists and general practitioners — are now available in their complete form on the cardio-log website. A state-of-the-art documentary research engine enables real-time consultation of this clinical evidence.

Beyond the group approach, which is inherent to the very principle of clinical trials, everyday medical practice focuses on a specific patient: in order to avoid consulting clinical evidence that is not relevant to this context, cardio-log allows practitioners to filter the results of their search according to their patients’ significant characteristics and medical analyses.
