Textbook of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Nursing, 2/E for MSc Nursing Students as per the INC Syllabus | ECG Interpretation, Worked Case Studies and Schematic Pathophysiology

Textbook of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Nursing , Second Edition, is written as per the INC syllabus for MSc Nursing. It presents the essential concepts of cardiovascular and thoracic nursing in a concise, lucid form, structured across four sections that move from the anatomy and physiology of the heart to the nursing management of specific cardiac and thoracic conditions. Assessment and diagnostic evaluation is covered in detail, including physical assessment, auscultation, laboratory, hematological and coagulation studies, arterial blood gas analysis, hemodynamic monitoring, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology procedures. Pharmacology of the heart is treated chapter by chapter, and pathophysiological processes are set out as schematic representations to support rapid revision before examinations. Nursing management chapters address hypertension, coronary artery disease, dysrhythmia, heart failure, inflammatory heart disease and valvular disorders, each supported by worked case studies. The book gives particular emphasis to ECG waves and their interpretation, and includes the EECP concept and newer techniques in cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology. Who This Book Is For: MSc Nursing students: the primary readership, using it as a specialty text for Medical Surgical Nursing (Cardiovascular and Thoracic Nursing) as per the INC syllabus. Cardiac care nurses: a working reference for nurses in coronary care units, cardiac wards and cardiothoracic surgical units. Why This Book Helps: Structures a broad specialty: organises cardiovascular and thoracic nursing into a clear sequence from basic sciences to condition-specific management. Speeds revision: schematic pathophysiology diagrams condense complex processes for students preparing for examinations. Strengthens ECG skills: dedicated coverage of ECG waves and interpretation helps nurses recognise abnormalities at the bedside. Links learning to practice: worked case studies show how assessment and management decisions are made for real cardiac presentations. Key Features: Four sections covering cardiac nursing and thoracic nursing, from anatomy and physiology of the heart to condition-specific nursing management. Detailed assessment chapter covering inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, dynamic auscultation, and laboratory, hematological, coagulation and arterial blood gas studies. Hemodynamic monitoring, cardiac catheterization, and cardiac electrophysiology procedures with nursing care. Chapter-wise pharmacology of the heart, including inotropes, antianginals, antiarrhythmics, antihypertensives and anticoagulants. Nursing management of hypertension, coronary artery disease, dysrhythmia, heart failure, inflammatory heart disease and valvular disorders, each with case studies. Coverage of the EECP concept and newer techniques in cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology, with schematic pathophysiology throughout.
