Introduction The heart with issues is taken care medically by doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners. Cardiac Nursing is the specialty that deals and takes care of patients suffering from various conditions of the cardiovascular system and also has certain responsibilities on these patients such as postoperative care, stress test evaluation, monitoring and health assessments. The cardiac nurse plays a diverse role of not only caring for the patient but also educating the family on understanding the heart conditions and its treatment [1]. Brief Anatomy and Functions of the Heart The heart is a muscular organ just like the size of one’s first situated in the inner size to the chest between the lungs by the left size of every human being. The heart has an aorta and four chambers the atria and ventricles that is the upper and lower part of the heart. It has 3 layers epicardium, myocardium and endocardium. It has two types of blood vessels the vein which brings oxygen free blood to and the artery which brings oxygen rich blood away from the heart [2]. Causes of Heart Diseases This occurs when plaque develops in the blood vessel that lead to the heart which blocks oxygen and important nutrients getting to the heart. A plaque is a waxy substance made up of cholesterol, fatty molecules and minerals. This accumulates over a period of time causing high blood pressure through damaging or blocking the artery for example through cigarette smoking or high cholesterol level.
