Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Journal of the American Heart Association”, the useful work is to connect “scientific journal” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q19880670. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2012 and 2021.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
