The Use of Educational Videos to Improve Patient Decision Making and Racial Disparities in the Implantation of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
In Brief
An observational study for Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 59 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will examine whether an educational video increases patient knowledge about heart failure and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest and leads to greater satisfaction with information provided as compared to usual care. Additionally, the investigators will look at whether racial concordance (physician and patient being of the same race) improves satisfaction with the patient's treatment decision and disease knowledge. Our hypothesis is that a video in which participants are of the same race as the patient will provide better education and more satisfaction with the treatment decision and may lead to more patients choosing ICD therapy.
