AI Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular multidisciplinary heart teams (MDHTs) have greatly changed over the past decade, becoming essential in treating various heart diseases across multiple specialties.
- The structure and function of these teams have adapted to better address patient needs, but there is still a lack of established best practices for their effectiveness compared to cancer care teams.
- This expert panel review examines the history, current roles, and challenges of cardiovascular MDHTs, while highlighting the need for more evidence on their effectiveness and operational strategies.
Article Abstract
Cardiovascular multidisciplinary heart teams (MDHTs) have evolved significantly over the past decade. These teams play a central role in the treatment of a wide array of cardiovascular diseases affecting interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, interventional imaging, advanced heart failure, adult congenital heart disease, cardio-oncology, and cardio-obstetrics. To meet the specific needs of both patients and heart programs, the composition and function of cardiovascular MDHTs have had to adapt and evolve. Although lessons have been learned from multidisciplinary cancer care, best practices for the operation of cardiovascular MDHTs have yet to be defined, and the evidence base supporting their effectiveness is limited. This expert panel review discusses the history and evolution of cardiovascular MDHTs, their composition and role in treating patients across a broad spectrum of disciplines, basic tenets for successful operation, and the future challenges facing them.
