Abstract

When in 1963 Day launched his concept (1) for intensive coronary care, he probably was unaware that this was the only moment at which a prospective comparative trial with random allocation to the ‘new’ treatment and the ‘old’ could have been carried out with full justification. It is sad that no one designed such a trial, but not surprising, given the similar history of other medical innovations. Yet the results of such a study might have prevented the current unrest about the usefulness of the coronary care unit (CCU).
