Incorporation of Shared Decision-Making in International Cardiovascular Guidelines, 2012-2022.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Shared decision-making (SDM) is a key component of the provision of ethical care, but prior reviews have indicated that clinical practice guidelines seldom promote or facilitate SDM. It is currently unknown whether these findings extend to contemporary cardiovascular guidelines.

Objective

To identify and characterize integration of SDM in contemporary cardiovascular guideline recommendations using a systematic classification system.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study assessed the latest guidelines or subsequent updates that included pharmacotherapy recommendations and were published between January 2012 and December 2022 by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS), and European Society of Card
