Does medical management compared to aortic valve replacement affect patient-reported shared decision making and treatment satisfaction in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis?

Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who receive medical management rather than valve replacement report lower satisfaction with shared decision making and less certainty about their treatment choice.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Medically managed severe symptomatic AS patients report gaps in shared decision-making; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve satisfaction in this high-risk group.
Dharmarajan et al. (2017) studied this question.
