Infos

This is a practical book for nurses on the management of patients with chronic cardiac disease. With the number of patients who have survived a heart attack but need continuous monitoring increasing, the role of nurse specialists is becoming ever more important. This book provides the necessary information for them to fulfil the role. It complements the lead author's earlier book, Improving Outcomes in Chronic Heart Failure, by providing the details of clinical management for working directly with patients (e.g. therapeutic targets in hypertension) and for working with patients to ensure compliance with medication.

Rezensionen

"This excellent book will be an important resource for specialist
nurses involved in secondary prevention"

"...the authors offer a range of theoretical approaches which
can be adopted for practice together with useful examples"

"the authors are experts in their field and have written a book
which will be of interest to cardiac nurses wherever they live and
where the morbidity from cardiac disease is high. It will be of
particular value to nurses pursuing further academic study. It is
well referenced and will help students generate possible research
questions"-- Carl Margereson, British Journal of Cardiac
Nursing, April 2006, Vol 1, Issue 4
