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.
