Cardiovascular nursing is the care of patients with coronary artery disease and other types of cardiovascular diseases. In planning interventions, nurses who engage in cardiovascular nursing practice must take into account related physiological, social and behavioural problems. This book is specially prepared for the nurses, who already have a basic nursing education and are employed in cardiology and allied units. It may be used as a self learning package for nurses who have a keen interest to strengthen their knowledge in preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilitative care of patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardio-vascular diseases.
