Nurse-Led Secondary Prevention Clinic For Myocardial Infarction
[ send me this essay ]
13 pages in length. With a strong emphasis upon prevention, more and more contemporary health maintenance facilities are deciding to act upon potential medical conditions long before they arise. Incorporating nurse-led secondary prevention clinics for sufferers of coronary heart disease (CHD) who have already experienced myocardial infarction, these facilities effectively train their patients to maintain a proper level of fitness in order to stave off the potential for additional cardiovascular problems. Such programs encourage adequate and sustained exercise, proper nutritional choices and an overall lifestyle approach conducive to healthful living. With the focus upon prevention, findings indicate that such application can help control the debilitating recurrence of coronary heart disease; as well, by embracing such a positive, health-oriented lifestyle, patients can also expect to live longer and more fulfilled lives.
