This reads similarly to the arguments in Ben Goldacre's book, Bad Pharma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Pharma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Pharma) - worth a read. The book tackles a number of issues with clinical trials, not just in heart disease, and led to the http://alltrials.net http://alltrials.net campaign: Thousands of clinical trials have not reported their results; some have not even been registered. Information on what was done and what was found in these trials could be lost forever to doctors and researchers, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated. All trials past and present should be registered, and the full methods and the results reported. We call on governments, regulators and research bodies to implement measures to achieve this.
