The article presents a nationwide survey which examines how the Dutch cardiologists' decisions on surgical treatment for aortic stenosis were influenced by characteristics of patients. A questionnaire with 32 case vignettes was sent to 530 cardiologists in the Netherlands. It shows that there were systematic differences among cardiologists in the way their advice was influenced by the characteristics of patients and in their tendency to advice aortic valve replacement for elderly patients. |
