Episode 435: Unwrapping the subclinical hypothyroidism enigma

In episode 435, Mike and James unravel the evidence around thyroid testing. We talk about an approach to deal with the lack of research and the variation in the measurement of TSH and many other things. At the end we both complain of fatigue, dry skin, puffy eyes, anxiety and depression – and immediately get a TSH test.

Episode 434: PREMIUM – finally, an LDL target trial

In episode 434, James and Mike discuss the Treat Stroke to Target trial where subjects were randomized to attain different LDL levels in patients experiencing a stroke or TIA. We talk about whether the results of this trial mean you need to measure LDL levels or just give more statin. Listen to find out.

Episode 433: Yes, more diabetes trials

In episode 433, Mike and James get all sweet on the latest diabetic trials from 2019. We provide the results, the critique and the context and we do it all with our usual level of charm and wit – which is by all accounts at a level similar to the size of the effect that many diabetes medications have on CVD events.
