Interprofessional Evidence-Based Cardiopulmonary Management Protocols

105

About the Course  
According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Common comorbidities, such as pulmonary disease, renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, and sleep disorders are also significant to understand and manage, for the optimal functional outcomes of each person living with cardiac disease. Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented and or optimally managed by addressing behavioral risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, and harmful use of alcohol. Evidence supports the cardiac rehabilitation process to lower the risk of death and health complications for patients who have cardiac disease or who have had a cardiac event or procedure, to improve their chances of returning to an active lifestyle. This program is also effective to reduce hospital readmissions for cardiac patients. It is critical that interprofessional practitioners are equipped with all related information, risks, and precautions to optimally progress their cardiac patients to the desired improved function.
