ONLINE: How to Research Human Organ Damage
If your product liability case involves damage to a specific organ, eg, heart damage allegedly caused by the use of fen-phen, professional organizations such as the American College of Cardiology (ACC) may offer some assistance. You can go to the association's Web site (http://www.acc.org/) for information on a number of conditions. More than 27,000 cardiologists from the U.S. and around the world are members of ACC. The association provides a framework of evidence-based clinical statements and guidelines developed by leaders in the field of cardiovascular medicine, which will help you address contemporary practice issues. The Web site offers the choice of searching its alphabetical guide by topic or by links to five areas: Clinical Practice Guidelines; Clinical Training and Competence; Clinical Expert Consensus Documents; and Policy Statements, Consensus; and Conference Reports.
Click on Guidelines to find articles that include acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), ambulatory electrocardiography, atrial fibrillation; clinical intracardiac electrophysiological and catheter ablation procedures, clinical use of radionuclide imaging, coronary angiography, and more. Most have been published in leading medical journals, and the site offers practical annotation on finding the specific journals referenced in the guidelines. Additional helpful information includes pocket guidelines, executive summaries, and news releases on various cardiac conditions. This is a great way to find out what the standard of care is for the experts in the area.
