Coronary Artery Disease
there are three levels of
disease prevention. these
include primary, secondary
and tertiary levels. the
primary level of preventing
this disease includes
lifestyle modification,
physical activity and weight
management. according to
karunathilake and
Ganegoda (2017) the
secondary prevention
methods include early
diagnosis so that the
patient gets the appropriate
care and their quality of life
is improved. tertiary
prevention methods include
those methods that would
arrest, slow or reverse the
disease and prevent
recurrent symptoms. these
may include artery bypass
grafting and percutaneous
coronary intervention.
Dunlay, Swetz, Mueller and
Roger (2012) claim that
advance directives among
coronary artery disease
patients could reduce
morbidity, hospitalization
and in-hospital deaths.
however little is known
about advance directives
among heart failure
patients.
governments, foundations
and any other stakeholder
must collaborate so as to
prevent this disease
assessment of this disease
should be based on
epidemiological risk factor
data
prevention of coronary artery
disease should be included
as a crucial part of nurses'
routine clinical practice.
nursing intervention aim at
setting strategies and
programmes to help
recognize the salient
symptoms, manage the
disease and change the
risk behaviours of the
patient. cardiac nurses play
a crucial role in the
diagnosis, treatment and
prevention of coronary
artery disease. they
support and treat the
patients whenever the
patients are admitted. they
also educate the patients.
the time of medication and
how and why the
medications are to be
administered are as the
medication requirements
and as directed by other
health professionals higher
in the rank.
