This quarterly column sheds some light on the lesser known area of cardiac nursing in care homes, looking at nurse-led diagnosis and management of cardiac conditions. In this final instalment, Helen Cowan interviews qualified nurse, Leah Bressington, about her roles as a newly-appointed care home fellow at the British Geriatrics Society and within the One Weston Care Home Hub, and their potential to improve care for residents in care homes.
这个季度的专栏揭示了一些鲜为人知的心脏护理领域的护理之家,看看护士领导的诊断和心脏状况的管理。在最后一期中,海伦·考恩采访了合格的护士利亚·布雷辛顿(Leah Bressington),讲述了她作为英国老年学会(British Geriatrics Society)和One Weston养老院中心(One Weston care home Hub)新任命的养老院研究员的角色,以及她们改善养老院居民护理的潜力。

This year, the Northern Ireland Heart Failure Nurse Forum relaunched with the aim of supporting, developing and promoting the essential role of heart failure specialist nurses in Northern Ireland. One of their first priorities was to host an educational meeting for their members, colleagues working in cardiac rehabilitation and cardiology nurses. This report summarises the content of the day, highlighting some topical issues in 2022.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is non-inferior to surgical aortic valve replacement in managing severe aortic stenosis. It has been the treatment of choice for patients who would be unsuitable for surgical aortic valve replacement. Patient selection and workup involves a rigorous process to ensure a successful outcome, and patient monitoring is crucial during and after the procedure. Nurses play an important role throughout these stages, so developing their understanding of the different processes involved in each step of the procedure is imperative. This article provides an overview of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, from patient selection and workup to peri-procedure, highlighting considerations for nurses across these stages. It includes the most relevant and recent literature on transcatheter aortic valve implantation for evidence-based nursing care, such as the monitoring of complications, early mobilisation and next-day discharge. Furthermore, it includes discussion of future considerations and research on transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Advances in techniques and reduced costs have led to increased use of genetics in cardiovascular care and, in particular, the field of inherited cardiac conditions. While there are specialist services for the diagnosis and management of these conditions, patients and family members are seen across cardiovascular services. Therefore, all nurses need to be aware of the various aspects of care required by these patients and have confidence in engaging in discussions around their genetic healthcare needs. This article is the first in a series about genetics. It provides information about basic genetic concepts relating to inherited cardiac conditions, the process and uses of genetic testing, the potential psychosocial impact and the key role of the nurse in genetic healthcare for patients and their families.
