REPORTING FROM ACC 18


“I totally agree with you,” Dr. Smulders replied. “We need a bigger trial to confirm our results – preferably a multicenter trial.”

“How can you do a bigger trial when your data safety monitoring board didn’t allow you to complete even this trial? They killed your trial. That’s the way I see it,” Dr. Anker said.

The CARMENTA trial was funded by the Dutch Heart Foundation. Dr. Smulders reported having no financial conflicts of interest.
