Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811705

Abstract: A shared decision-making approach is considered optimal in primary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. Evidence-based patient decision aids can facilitate this but do not always meet patients’ health literacy needs. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans are… read more here.
