Taking Inventory of Cardiology Related Research In Pakistan

Abstract

This writer had the opportunity recently to review most of the Cardiology related data that has been pub//shed in Pakistan. It was surprising to find isolated pieces of works of excellence that are not well known and never quoted. However, much o f what is available represents fragmented data lacking in scientific design and therefore open to criticism and unreliable. Constant. self criticism and peer review are going to be the only way we shall ever be able to achieve an objective and scientific approach to our problems. • Petty considerations should not be a//owed to keep us from achieving• this end.
