While I concur with the basic premise of the post (i.e. that one shouldn't jump into a full-blown diagnostic work-up of an incidental finding), I think we should also insist on developing evidence-based criteria for managing these types of findings such as, Fleishner criteria for lung nodules.

Neurocognitive tests, driving simulation, and road tests provide complementary sources of evidence to evaluate driver safety. No single test is sufficient to determine who should drive and who should not.

If so, take a moment to check out the American Heart Association's online program Heart Profilers. A recent study found that patients who used the program were more likely to have a good understanding of their disease, were more knowledgeable about their medications, and were more likely to ask their doctors questions and discuss treatment options.The program was especially beneficial for those dealing with conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
