It also happens in the very real, flesh and blood of academic medicine. So in 1980, some researchers did a study on a drug called lorcainide, and this was an anti-arrhythmic drug, a drug that suppresses abnormal heart rhythms, and the idea was, after people have had a heart attack, they're quite likely to have abnormal heart rhythms, so if we give them a drug that suppresses abnormal heart rhythms, this will increase the chances of them surviving.
Se întâmplă şi în medicina academică reală, pur sânge. În 1980, nişte cercetători au făcut un studiu al unui medicament numit lorcainid, un medicament anti-aritmic, care suprimă ritmul cardiac anormal. Idea era că, după un infarct, apare probabil ritm cardiac anormal. Dacă li se dă un medicament care suprimă aritmiile șansa de supravieţuire creşte.
