Overview
Improving Equity of Care in Revascularization
COR LOE
Recommendation
1 B-NR 1. In patients who require coronary revascularization, treatment
decisions should be based on clinical indication, regardless
of sex, or race or ethnicity, and efforts to reduce disparities of
care are warranted.
Shared Decision-Making and Informed Consent
COR LOE
Recommendations
1 C-LD 1. In patients undergoing revascularization, decisions should
be patient centered—that is, considerate of the patient's
preferences and goals, cultural beliefs, health literacy, and
social determinants of health—and made in collaboration
with the patient's support system.
1 C-LD 2. In patients undergoing coronary angiography or
revascularization, adequate information about benefits,
risks, therapeutic consequences, and potential alternatives
in the performance of percutaneous and surgical myocardial
revascularization should be given, when feasible, with
sufficient time for informed decision-making to improve
clinical outcomes.
