The shared decision-making process in stable angina From ARCA Registry to ORBITA 1 and 2, through ISCHEMIA and ISCHEMIA ExtendedIl processo decisionale condiviso nell'angina stabile Dallo studio ARCA Registry, ad ISCHEMIA e ISCHEMIA Extended fino ad ORBITA 1 e 2 Franco Cosmi, MD 1; Beatrice Mariottoni, SC 1; Barbara Tarquini, SC 1 ; Deborah Cosmi MD, FESC 2 1 Cardiologia, Ospedale di Cortona (AR) 2 Cardiologia, Ospedale di Gubbio-Gualdo Tadino (PG) Abstract Nell'angina pectoris stabile la sintomatologia anginosa può essere controllata e la mortalità può essere ridotta dalla terapia farmacologica, dall'angioplastica o dalla rivascolarizzazione chirurgica. Il processo decisionale condiviso tra medico e paziente serve a ridurre ansia, paura, compassione ed ignoranza per lenire preoccupazioni e responsabilità che rischiano di portare le scelte al di fuori dei binari della scientificità, della reale efficacia, della sostenibilità economica ed ambientale. Parole chiave: Processo decisionale condiviso; Angina stabile; Ischemia; Anatomia coronarica. Abstract In stable angina, symptoms can be controlled, and mortality can be reduced by pharmacological treatment and by percutaneous or surgical revascularization. The shared decision-making process between doctor and patient is mandatory to reduce anxiety, fear, compassion and ignorance, to alleviate concerns and responsibilities that risk taking choices outside the tracks of scientificity, real effectiveness and economic and environmental sustainability. The scientist's evidence, the doctor's experience, the patient's belief and the concrete healthcare possibilities are the determinants of the choice, if not of the best treatment, at least of the most suitable one. The analysis of important studies such as the ARCA Registry, ORBITA 1 and 2, ISCHEMIA and ISCHEMIA Extended, allow for solid considerations. In patients with stable angina without unfavorable coronary anatomy, mortality is comparable between invasive and conservative strategies with significant unfavorable side effects more evident in the invasive one. Drug therapy is able to control symptoms in 2/3 of cases. In the others, percutaneous or surgical revascularization is necessary. Key words: Shared decision-making; Stable angina; Ischemia; Coronary anatomy. |
