Summary

Many people with chronic kidney disease also have heart disease, but heart procedures like angiograms and surgery can raise the risk of kidney complications. This study tests an online decision aid called 'My Heart and CKD' that helps patients and doctors weigh the benefits and risks together. Researchers will enroll 220 adults in Canada to see if the tool improves informed decision-making and aligns choices with patients' values.

Active substance: online shared decision aid
What this could lead to: If this works, it could give doctors and patients a reliable tool to make more informed, personalized decisions about heart procedures for people with kidney disease.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The tool may not change actual decisions or outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
