Nurses must deliver up-to-date, clinically effective, evidence-based
care across a range of settings and develop nursing services to meet
changing demands. The revised and expanded Oxford Handbook of Cardiac
Nursing 3rd edition is tailored to provide the essential knowledge
nurses need; at their fingertips when they need it.
This handbook will guide the reader systematically through the care of
patients with a wide range of cardiac problems. Each chapter contains
the up to date evidence-based guidelines for cardiac conditions and
treatments. It now includes new topics such as stroke, genetics,
computed tomography coronary angiogram. Valvular heart disease has been
expanded, as well as the chapter on congenital heart disease and
inherited cardiac conditions. Providing key summaries of common problems
and essential issues, it will provide both an invaluable reference for
cardiac nurses, as well as a precise, targeted guide for nurses from
other specialties caring for patients with cardiac problems.
