Assessment of freely available online videos of cardiac electrophysiological procedures from a shared decision-making perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physicians recommend electrophysiological (EP) procedures to patients with arrhythmic risk. This involves shared decision-making (SDM). Patients increasingly search for additional information online. Freely available online videos are an attractive source.

Objective

We assessed freely available online videos for EP procedures from the perspective of SDM to determine if such videos can be shared with patients for SDM.

Methods

We searched for freely available online videos related to 6 common EP procedures limited to English language and duration between 1 and 10 minutes using Google and Bing. Data collected included date and source of upload, number of hits, and duration. Videos were assessed systematically for understandability, actionability (PEMAT tool),
