Summary

Cardiovascular nursing in Israel began in 1952, evolving with specialized training and the establishment of the Society for Advancement of Cardiac Nursing. This society drives knowledge exchange, research, and education for cardiac nurses.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Cardiology
Healthcare Development

Background:

Cardiovascular (CV) nursing in Israel originated in 1952 with postoperative heart surgery care.
Intensive cardiac care units (ICCUs) were established starting in 1971, with specialized ICCU courses developed in 1982.
The Society for Advancement of Cardiac Nursing in Israel (SACN) was founded in 1989 to foster professional growth.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the historical development and current status of cardiovascular nursing in Israel.
To detail the roles and contributions of the Society for Advancement of Cardiac Nursing in Israel.
To present future visions for cardiovascular nursing in Israel, including advanced roles and home-care programs.

Main Methods:

Historical review of cardiovascular nursing milestones in Israel.
Description of the establishment and goals of professional nursing societies.
Analysis of current CV nurse roles in patient care, research, and education.

Main Results:
