After all we have a Doctor(cardiologist and not interventionist, we
hope)telling that he has scientific arguments for debate about the validity of
the thrombogenic theory and moreover telling he has also experience regarding
the use of digitalis in unstable angina and myocardial infarction.

Well, we are anxious to hear his arguments and experience!

P.S.- See at http:www.infarctcombat.org/heartnews-02.html, many enthusiastic
declarations from Doctors who have used digitalis in MI aside of James
Herrick.
