In the quiet space between doctor and patient, a decision is being made — but in nine out of ten cardiology consultations, only one voice is truly shaping it. The American Heart Association, publishing in Circulation, has named this silence as a crisis: shared decision-making, despite over a hundred trials affirming its value, reaches fewer than ten percent of clinical encounters. The statement is less a set of prescriptions than a call to reimagine the consultation itself — as a meeting of two forms of knowledge, where the patient's values are not a footnote but a foundation.

Patients may benefit from better-informed treatment decisions, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures and improving outcomes. However, expanded consultation reimbursement could raise insurance premiums or out-of-pocket costs in the near term. Underserved populations may see improved access if cultural and language barriers are addressed.
Likely pressure on CMS and private insurers to expand reimbursement codes for shared decision-making consultations. Potential regulatory mandates for EHR vendors to integrate decision-aid tools. Medical licensing boards may incorporate SDM communication training into continuing education requirements. Could influence value-based care contract structures.
