Cardiac Nurse Practitioner

#Cardiac-vascular #nurse practitioners deal with patient populations that are experiencing high cholesterol, #high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and arrhythmias (irregularities in heart rate). #Cardiac-vascular nurse practitioners may work in a variety of settings, including private practice #cardiology offices, family medicine or acute-care clinics and hospitals. New and evolving cardiac techniques make this field more challenging than ever, and advanced practice #RNs play a key role in bringing quality cardiac care to patients in underserved, rural and urban settings.

Coursework and clinical experiences prepares you to practice in both inpatient and outpatient #cardiovascular settings across the country. The specialty courses provide the requisite knowledge and skills to demonstrate expertise in cardiovascular care. Upon successful completion of this program, you can find employment in general #cardiology, #electrophysiology, #heart-failure, #cardiac #transplant, #vascular and #lipid specialties.

The #cardiovascular specialty offers you the opportunity to become an expert clinician in the care of individuals with #cardiovascular disease. The online coursework includes content from the. #On-campus intensives provide you with opportunities to engage with #cardiovascular clinicians and inquire about novel #research and innovative practice. As a synthesis, you participate in #clinical practice under the #mentorship of an expert #clinician in a #cardiovascular specialty.

The clinical environment for a #cardiac-nurse #practitioner can vary depending on the employer as well as the type of work the #nurse wants to #pursue. For instance, some #cardiac #nurse #practitioners may work for a #cardiac clinic that has ties with a local #hospital, so their work would take them both to the clinical, #non-emergency setting as well as to an inpatient wing at a #hospital and even potentially ER calls. This #diversity of environments can be fulfilling for #nurses that prefer a mixture of experiences during a typical week.

Heart Attack in Women

Women who suffer from heart attacks are half as likely as men to receive the recommended medical treatment, a new study has claimed. Experts warned that "unconscious bias" means doctors are far less likely to think that female patients are suitable for interventions which can save lives. It follows evidence that 8,000 women have died needlessly from heart attacks in the last decade because they have not received the same standards of care as men. Some of the death toll was blamed on a failure to diagnose cases in women, with medics too often assuming symptoms signified a less serious ailment. But the new study by Edinburgh University found that even when women received a diagnosis, they were half as likely as men to be put on any of the main treatments available. However, despite their diagnoses, it was discovered that the female patients suffering from heart attack or injury were half as likely as the male patients to receive adequate treatment. Only 15 per cent of the female patients were fitted with a stent, in comparison to 34 per cent of the male patients.

Male verses female heart attacks

Women’s symptoms can differ from classic chest pain. We also know women tend to wait longer before discussing symptoms with their GP, which could be due to differences in pain threshold, not wanting to cause a fuss, or simply not being aware they can be at risk of a heart attack. Signs and symptoms of a heart attack in women include:

·       Chest pain or discomfort - the most recognised symptom of a heart attack though not always present.

·       Pain or numbness radiating to the arms (both left and right), neck, jaw, stomach and back -you may experience pain in just one or all of these places; for some people the pain is severe but for others just uncomfortable.

·       A feeling of indigestion or reflux type pain - this is often ignored in the hope it will pass. 

·       Feeling sick, sweaty, breathless or lightheaded with associated chest pain or discomfort

·       A general feeling of being unwell or lethargic can also be an indicator of a heart attack when accompanied by chest pain or discomfort.

Cardiology

#Cardiology is the study and treatment of disorders of the #heart and the #blood_vessels. A person with heart disease or #cardiovascular #disease may be referred to a #cardiologist. Cardiology is a branch of #internal_medicine. A #cardiologist is not the same as a #cardiac #surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system.

The cardiologist will carry out tests, and they may some do procedures, such as #heart #catheterizations, #angioplasty, or inserting a #pacemaker. Heart disease relates specifically to the heart, while cardiovascular disease affects the heart, the blood vessels, or both. A cardiologist will review a patient's medical history and carry out a physical examination. They may check the person's weight, heart, lungs, #blood #pressure, and blood vessels, and carry out some tests. An interventional cardiologist may carry out procedures such as angioplasties, #stenting, #valvuloplasties, #congenital #heart #defect corrections, and #coronary #thrombectomies.

Symptoms that can indicate a heart problem include:

·        shortness of breath

·        dizziness

·        chest pains

·        changes in heart rate or rhythm

·        high blood pressure
