Cardiology interventions remain to be complex and difficult to understand by the general people. Consent requirements have become gradually challenging in parallel to the rise of autonomy as a dominant principle in biomedical ethics in addition to the complexity of cardiology intervention. Studies showed that patients have suboptimal understanding of the procedural risks and benefits.Many novel elucidations have been offered to enhance informed consent, many of which have narrowed, although not eradicated, the gap in attaining proper informed consent goals and objectives. The current review will discuss the up to date available studies that have investigated this important subject in cardiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
