Cardiovascular nursing demystified

Abstract

Every patient knows how to seek medical help when his or her chest discomfort becomes too much to bear. However, how does the health care provider determine what is wrong and what to do to restore the patient to good health? The answer depends on the patient’s signs and symptoms and the results from medical tests. In this book you will learn to identify these signs and symptoms, interpret the medical test results, and perform the nursing interventions that will assist in solving or alleviating the patient’s cardiovascular problem. Cardiovascular Nursing Demystified contains 10 chapters, each providing a roadmap to the cardiovascular system and the diseases and disorders that can affect that system.
