In this conversation, Daniel Belkin, MD, and Mitch Belkin, MD, a University of Maryland School of Medicine alumnus, interview Andrew Foy, MD, about evidence-based medicine, applying guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) to hospitalized patients, and evaluating aggressive versus conservative blood pressure goals in patients with comorbitidies. They discuss Foy’s article on F.A. Hayek, critical appraisal of the medical literature, medical conservatism, and his skepticism around coronary computed tomography angiography as compared to functional stress testing in patients with coronary artery disease. Finally, they touch on alternative visions of medical practice (medical conservatism versus medical liberalism), content expertise, as well as statins as a potential cause of diabetes.
