Summary

This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of the optimal heart team implementation protocol on the stability of decision-making for patients with complex coronary artery disease.

Detailed description

Current guidelines recommend a heart team in the decision making for patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous study reported that the agreement between heart teams for revascularization decision-making in complex CAD patients was moderate. Potential factors associated with decision discrepancies were summarized in several aspects and a detailed heart team implementation protocol was generated and further validation is needed. This study is designed to evaluate the effect of the optimal heart team implementation protocol on the stability of decision-making for patients with complex coronary artery disease.
