Shared Decision-Making and Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2023 Aug 14. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShared decision-making is increasingly embraced in health care and recommended in cardiovascular guidelines. Patient involvement in health care decisions, patient-clinician communication, and models of patient-centered care are critical to improve health outcomes and to promote equity, but formal models and evaluation in cardiovascular care are nascent.

Procoagulant Platelets: Not Just Full of Hot Air.
Abstract Abnormalities in coagulation are a leading cause of disease and death worldwide due to thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, etc. It has been estimated that the cost of treatment of these disorders will rise to over 820 billion by the year 2030.(1) At the center of thrombus formation is the platelet, a cell that is seen as the cornerstone of hemostasis and thrombosis. Platelets mainly function to secure hemostasis by acting as the "band-aids of the blood". They are the first responders to sites of vascular injury, bringing with them a membrane surface that provides the "glue" for clot f...
