Scientific Sessions

Cardiovascular nursing is a highly specialized branch of nursing that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with heart and vascular diseases. As cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, the role of cardiovascular nurses has become increasingly vital in modern healthcare. This nursing discipline encompasses care for patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, hypertension, and post-surgical cardiac recovery. Cardiovascular nurses are skilled in advanced assessment techniques, cardiac monitoring, administration of medications and therapies, and use of specialized equipment such as electrocardiograms (ECG) and hemodynamic monitoring systems. They work closely with cardiologists and multidisciplinary teams to develop and implement individualized care plans that address both acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions. Patient education is also a core responsibility, as nurses guide individuals and their families on lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and self-care practices to prevent disease progression and reduce the risk of recurrent cardiac events.

In the context of scientific research and professional development, cardiovascular nursing continually evolves with advancements in technology, pharmacology, and evidence-based care protocols. Nursing research in this field addresses emerging trends such as telemonitoring, cardiac rehabilitation programs, and the integration of artificial intelligence for early detection of cardiac anomalies. Additionally, cardiovascular nurses play a pivotal role in managing the growing burden of comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and chronic kidney disease, which significantly impact heart health. By combining clinical expertise with compassionate care, they not only manage critical conditions in hospital settings but also contribute to community outreach and public health initiatives aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk factors. Scientific sessions on cardiovascular nursing provide a platform to share innovative practices, discuss clinical case studies, and explore strategies to enhance patient outcomes. These discussions help bridge the gap between research and clinical application, ensuring that nursing interventions remain aligned with global cardiovascular health goals and improving the quality of life for patients worldwide.
