Description

Getting to the Heart of the Matter: Caring for the Patient with Cardiac Conditions Keeping pace with emerging evidence, treatment trends, and current practice guidelines in the field of cardiology can be an ongoing challenge for nurses. As heart disease affects many people in the United States, nurses from all scopes of practice are likely to provide care to someone with underlying risk factors or with a cardiac condition. Being up to date with evidence-based information related to care of the patient with heart diseases, heart failure, valvular disease and coronary artery disease allows nurses to better care for cardiac patients. Nurses from outpatient to inpatient points of care will benefit from this educational activity by being abreast of latest trends in cardiology care. Location …………………….………..
