To consider the many stages of medical-applied technological developments and its main consequences related to the current medical practice and speculate on future developments.
Methods
Assessment of historical publications and individual and metanalysis of comparative evaluation of old versus new techniques.
Results
Documentation of progressive improvement in diagnostic skill and therapeutics toward less invasive procedures along the last decades, since the introduction of the scientific medicine.
Conclusion
Progress has been unequivocally documented albeit an effort to maintain time-proven established previous technique is advised, especially in favor of stimulating a personal patient-physician relationship. (International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences. 2020; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0)
