Abstract
The author examines the literature relating to informed consent for early cardiac catheterization to treat Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, and considers whether Clinical Decision Science might provide new directions for applying the clinical research literature.
Highlights
“Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome: Early versus delayed cardiac catheterization” by Colleli et al published in Clinical Research in Practice, the Journal of Team Hippocrates[1], the authors describe a patient who had an NSTEMI and as the question of whether early cardiac catheterization compared to delayed catheterization provides a mortality benefit
The authors suggest that an informed consent process that outlines the risks and benefits of early cardiac catheterization versus optimal medical therapy should be presented to the patient
Over 120 articles were found and the titles and abstracts were scanned for articles published in the last 20 years that directly analyzed the adequacy of the informed consent process for adults undergoing cardiac catheterization
