Challenges in Preventative Medicine Decision-Making
TLDR Cardiologists face challenges in determining the appropriate level of aggressiveness in preventive medicine, especially in understanding and predicting the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Decisions in preventive medicine often rely on evidence-informed practices rather than strict evidence-based guidelines, making it a challenging yet rewarding field where success is measured by the absence of failure.
