2| Let's start with MI def. Billing codes less accurate than adjudicated MI outcomes, yes? Could be nondiff misclassification which bias to null. But could also be diff w/ ascertainment bias (look harder, anchoring) knowing CCTA result, since 2/3rds normal or nonobstruct.

1| follow for my critical appraisal tweetorial of #SCOTHEART trial in @NEJM #ESCCongress

Basics: RCT of upfront CTA vs standard of care for stable CP referred to Scottish cardiology clinics. 1.6% fewer had primary outcome with CTA

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… 2| more basics: primary outcome is driven by nonfatal MI, not death. Authors did tremendous job at highlighting this
