Abstract
The yawning chasm between what we know and what we do for patients is no longer news; indeed, the repeated evidence is somewhat numbing. We are far less sure what to do next.In this light, two articles in this issue of the Journal take on a special interest. In one, Petersen et al.1 examine the relation between the presence of angiography facilities in individual Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals and whether patients with class I indications for angiography undergo the procedure. In brief, they find that rates of appropriate care in VA hospitals with angiography facilities are similar . . .
