Decision aid: Treating cardiovascular diseases
This decision aid can be used for various types of cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart rhythm disorders.
The symptoms, cause, diagnostic tests, development over time and preventive measures will depend on your exact disease. The treatment options may be different too: For example, some cardiovascular diseases may be treated with medication, and others with a surgical procedure on the heart. In many cases, various treatments can be used for a particular cardiovascular disease – either on their own or together.
This decision aid is designed to help you get an overview of your treatment options together with your doctor, and then choose one or more suitable treatments.
