Exploration on the Shared Decision-making Framework in Cardiovascular Disease / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

The burden of cardiovascular disease is heavy, the condition is complex, and the clinical decision-making methods are diverse. Taking coronary heart disease and implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation as examples, this paper illustrated the shared decision-making framework in cardiovascular disease. Patient participation in diagnosis and treatment decision-making will enhance their sense of control and gain. Strategies to improve the quality of shared decision-making include developing effective decision-making aids, enhancing patients’ risk perception abilities, and empowering patients to enhance their decision-making abilities.
