A Pilot Proof of Concept, Randomized Controlled, Single-Center Study of a Decision Aid Tool for Older Patients Considering LHC as Treatment for NSTEMI

A single-center, prospective, un-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Primary objective: To pilot a coronary revascularization decision aid in older adults with NSTEMI who are candidates for elective LHC in order to determine its effectiveness in lowering decisional conflict by the decisional conflict scale (DCS). Secondary objectives: To determine decision aid feasibility by measuring time of administration and percentage of patients agreeing to use. Also, to assess efficacy of the decision aid in decreasing patient feelings of anxiety and depression (by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), increasing decision self-efficacy (by the Ottawa Decision Self-Efficacy Scale), and increasing medical knowledge.
