It provides an in-depth study of the latest scientific advances that favor the reduction of morbimortality of cardiac origin in the area of Rehabilitation"

The WHO estimates that the incidence of cardiovascular disease would be reduced by almost half if obesity, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the population were reduced. Thanks to the latest advances, the area of cardiac rehabilitation not only presents new techniques in the approach to pathologies through pharmacological therapies, but also explores new psychosocial and educational programs and stimulation through physical exercise for the patient.

The field of nursing dedicated to cardiac rehabilitation encompasses a multidisciplinary treatment, since among its objectives are the promotion of the relationship between nurse and patient, close dialogue that allows the patient to learn about his or her disease, or the improvement of his or her autonomy and self-confidence.

For this reason, keeping up to date with new techniques in the pathophysiology of heart failure is an indispensable requirement for continuing to offer the best medical practice.

Studies confirm that there is no more efficient intervention after a cardiovascular event than the inclusion of the patient in a cardiac rehabilitation program, and the role of the cardiac nurse specialist is crucial to achieve the goals of reducing the overall mortality rate currently in place. Delving into the latest advances in cardiac rehabilitation and making it compatible with daily professional practice is possible thanks to the 100% online methodology offered by TECH in this postgraduate diploma in Cardiac Rehabilitation Nursing.
