R M Gerber

    The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing
    |August 1, 1990
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nurses caring for elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) must recognize age-related cardiovascular changes and atypical symptoms. Tailored risk reduction and careful surgical consideration are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Cardiology
    • Nursing Science

    Background:

    • Elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) present unique challenges for healthcare providers.
    • Aging impacts the cardiovascular system, potentially altering CAD presentation and treatment response.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the specific considerations for nursing care in elderly patients with CAD.
    • To highlight the importance of recognizing age-related changes in cardiovascular function and CAD symptoms.
    • To discuss selective risk factor modification and potential complications in older surgical patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review focusing on geriatric cardiology and nursing care.
    • Analysis of age-related physiological changes affecting CAD presentation.
    • Examination of risk factor modification strategies in the elderly.
    • Review of surgical outcomes and complications in older CAD patients.

    Main Results:

    • The aging cardiovascular system requires nurses to be aware of altered signs and symptoms of CAD.
    • Risk factor reduction strategies may need selective application in older adults.
    • Elderly patients undergoing surgical treatment for CAD may face increased complication rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses play a vital role in managing elderly patients with CAD by understanding age-specific needs.
    • Adaptation of care, including symptom recognition and risk management, is essential.
    • Careful monitoring and management are necessary to mitigate complications in older surgical patients.
