[How informed is patient consent to interventional cardiology procedures. A quality assurance survey by the nurses].

Background: A new patient consent form has recently been adopted in our Institution, with a uniformly written text to be used for all medical procedures and interventions. It is accompanied by a separate information sheet, explaining both the details and the risk/benefit profile for each specific procedure/intervention. It should be given to the patient as early as possible after the procedure/intervention is planned.
