Heart Failure and Coronary Herat Diseases: Nursing Interventions and Care Plans-An Updated Review

Abstract

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, requiring comprehensive care and nursing interventions to manage its complexities. Nurses play a pivotal role in the early identification, prevention, and management of CHD through various strategies, including health promotion, patient education, and individualized care plans.

Aim: This review aims to examine the role of nursing interventions in the management of CHD, highlighting current best practices, emerging trends, and the critical nursing contributions to improving patient outcomes, particularly through early detection, medication management, and psychosocial support.

Methods: This review synthesizes current literature on nursing care for CHD patients, with a focus on nursing assessments, pharmacological management, cardiac rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications. A comprehensive evaluation of risk assessment tools, patient education strategies, and psychosocial support mechanisms is also included.

Conclusion: Effective nursing interventions are essential in managing CHD by addressing both the physiological and psychological aspects of the disease. Nurses contribute significantly to early detection through thorough assessments, medication administration, and education on lifestyle modifications. Furthermore, nurses' involvement in cardiac rehabilitation programs, providing emotional and psychological support, and promoting adherence to treatment regimens are crucial for improving the quality of life and reducing the incidence of adverse cardiac events. Holistic care, which includes continuous monitoring and personalized interventions, remains key to improving patient outcomes in CHD management.
