Led by Cian McCarthy, this provocative Viewpoint in JAMA asks a question whose answer is already known by busy clinicians: Is MI over-diagnosed?

The answer almost certainly is yes.

Grateful to Jason H. Wasfy, M.D. for his collaboration on this.

Check out this case from me and Alec Rezigh nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
