Feasibility and Pilot Testing of "My Heart and CKD" Online Shared Decision Aid
Feasibility and Pilot Testing of the "My Heart and CKD" Online Shared Decision Aid

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Many people with kidney disease also have heart disease. The procedures used to diagnose and treat heart disease (e.g., angiograms, angioplasty, or surgery) can improve symptoms and cardiovascular outcomes, but pose greater risks of kidney complications for people with chronic kidney disease. It's therefore important that patients with kidney disease and their health care providers understand the benefits versus risks of these procedures and use that information to make informed decisions regarding their health care. Prior research done with patients with kidney disease and their health care providers has led to the develop of a decision aid designed to help doctors provide personalized information on the benefits versus risks of having a heart procedure, as well as help patients communicate their own values and preferences to their doctor. This information is crucial for shared decision making, as previous research has shown that preferences and values vary for individual patients with kidney diseases, and should be incorporated into the decision-making process for heart disease management. The decision aid, called "My Heart Care and CKD", supports shared decision-making between patients with kidney disease and heart their care providers. This trial will implement and evaluate this decision aid within cardiovascular care in a pilot trial in Canada.
