Check out this website

http://www.hrsonline.org/Education/SelfStudy/

Okay, so I come across this website. I was looking on a trial--AFFIRM trial just to take a look on the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs. For further information about the trial, http://www.hrsonline.org/Education/SelfStudy/ClinicalTrials/AF/AFFIRM.cfm, check out the website I put out.

One word about the AFFIRM study. It's basically comparing the efficacy of using rate-limiting method and rhythm-limiting method to control atrial fibrillation. Result is that no statistical difference observed in both treatment. Rhythm-limiting method is referred usage of sodium channel blockers whilst rate-limiting method is referred to usage of beta-blockers, ccb etc. methods to control atrial fib.

Currently I can't think of any good subject to write on. But what I can do is just look out for good websites where they can provide a certain good information that we could appreciate as a medical student who hungers for nothing but knowledge.
