Coronary Vascular Disorders and Aneurysms: From Ischemia to Intervention


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the identification and management of coronary vascular disorders and aortic aneurysms, connecting pathophysiology with critical nursing care. We’ll review how atherosclerosis leads to angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and examine key diagnostic tools such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) and cardiac biomarkers. Treatment strategies are discussed in depth, including pharmacologic therapies like nitroglycerin and beta-blockers, as well as advanced interventions such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The episode also highlights the nursing management of aortic aneurysms and dissections, emphasizing strict blood pressure control, ongoing assessment, and vigilant neurovascular monitoring. Throughout, we apply the nursing process to guide assessment, symptom management, complication prevention, and patient education. We conclude with a focus on cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle modification, reinforcing the nurse’s role in supporting long-term cardiovascular health and recovery.
