Table 1 Questions for patients to consider in cardio-oncology SDM discussions
From: Rationale and proposed framework for shared decision making in cardio-oncology
| Are you more worried about your cancer or your heart condition? |
| Which is most important to you: longevity and survival, functional status and quality of life, or comfort and avoidance of pain/suffering? |
| Do you prefer a “less is more” approach or rather a “make sure all bases covered” approach – or do you fall somewhere in between? |
| Do you favor lifestyle interventions to minimize medications, or is it easier for you just to take medications because of other challenging circumstances? |
