Frequently Asked Questions

Cardiovascular patient care involves assessing, monitoring and supporting people with heart and blood vessel conditions. It includes patient education, treatment support, recovery care and recognising complications.

Common cardiovascular symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, palpitations and swelling. Sudden or severe symptoms require urgent medical assessment.

Preoperative care prepares patients for cardiovascular surgery through assessment, investigations, medication review, education and risk management. Nurses also support patients emotionally and physically before surgery.

A heart-healthy diet and exercise programme can support recovery after cardiovascular surgery. Activity should be gradually increased according to the healthcare team’s advice and individual condition.

During cardiac arrest, nurses should recognise the emergency, call for help, begin CPR and use an AED or defibrillator when indicated. Follow local resuscitation guidelines and the clinical team’s protocol.
