Less Is More
Less Is More is a feature collecting articles that document cases in which less health care results in better health, with commentary on implications for clinical practice. We welcome original research and case vignettes from patients and physicians. Edited by Deborah Grady, MD, MPH, and Rosemary Gibson, MSc. Staff support for topics research funded by grants from the California Health Care Foundation and the Parsemus Foundation.
ECG Series
The electrocardiogram is a critical tool of practicing physicians, used to rapidly identify acute or chronic life-threatening conditions and to help patients who require time-sensitive therapies. In 2011 we were pleased to launch this section dedicated to the ECG titled "Challenges in Clinical Electrocardiography."
