Abstract

People with chronic illnesses require ongoing health and a high level of medical care. Professional physicians provide strategies for treating chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and diseases of aging) and support and accompany all patients who face life's difficulties every day. This definition highly reflects the practical and proactive approach required to care for patients with chronic heart disease. Consideration and education are the foundation of patient-centered care, which is based on respect and consideration of the patient's wishes and needs. The nurse's role is primarily to guide patients toward a healthier lifestyle through teaching and example. Patient-centered care can transition into nursing care when implementing long-term management strategies, as visits to cardiac specialists are often sporadic and inconsistent. Therefore, the nursing staff remains the ongoing authority and advisor to these patients in the outpatient setting. The global goals and care of patients with ischemic heart disease are to reduce complications, maximize quality of life, and maintain independence and function. This allows for effective implementation of care through advice and education on secondary preventive treatments. General advice about quitting smoking, improving diet, and increasing exercise can serve as a transition to more specialized advice from a nurse who specializes in this area. As Ho, Russell, and Phillips stated in a study conducted in late 2008, "Higher levels of nursing competence are associated with lower mortality and readmission rates and higher quality of life for emergency and general practice patients." Efforts The goals are to: Deliver care in a manner that makes patients feel comfortable and safe and that highly maintains the global goals of caring for patients with CVD. This aspect of nursing is extremely valuable today as it has been referred to in recent popular media as a "jack of all trades" for patient education, research, and health promotion. This is a large and open field with promising career opportunities, as the prevention of chronic heart disease is a growing concern among public health experts. Easier access to medical services and medications helps heart disease patients live longer, more comfortable lives. The benefit of this is to provide nurses with more advocacy and care options. Compensation ranges from simple telephone support or health advice to patient home visits and ongoing monitoring. In some serious cases, this may spill over into long-term care or hospice care, where nurses provide the most support and are closest to the role of patient advocate. (Levitt et al., 2020).
