Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of cardiovascular care is constantly evolving, requiring specialized knowledge and advanced practice to be employed by healthcare professionals, particularly nurses. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality globally, and as such, the role of nursing in this specialty is critical in ensuring that patients receive optimal care throughout their treatment journey. From emergency interventions to the long-term management of chronic diseases, cardiovascular nursing has faced numerous challenges and witnessed significant innovations.
This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest advancements and challenges in cardiovascular nursing. We invite researchers, clinicians, and educators to contribute original research articles, reviews, and meta-analyses that reflect the current trends and future directions in this specialized area. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, innovations in acute and chronic cardiovascular care, the management of heart failure, advances in arrhythmia treatments, and the role of nursing in preventing and responding to sudden cardiac events.
We aim to create a platform that will foster the dissemination of knowledge and provide a deeper understanding of the complex and critical role that cardiovascular nurses play in modern healthcare. By addressing both innovative techniques and ongoing challenges, this Special Issue will serve as a guide for future advancements in cardiovascular care. We look forward to receiving your contributions, which will shape the future of cardiovascular nursing and enhance the quality of care provided to patients with cardiovascular disease.
