NCIt definition : Cardiac/Vascular nursing is the provision of comprehensive nursing care to individuals
diagnosed with cardiac/vascular disease as well as those identified at risk for cardiac/vascular
events. These services are provided in a variety of settings including acute and ambulatory
care facilities, community-based facilities, and work-site and school-based programs.
Cardiac/vascular nursing practice promotes achievement and maintenance of optimal
cardiac/vascular wellness. The cardiac/vascular nurse is responsible for the development,
coordination, and evaluation of a plan of care that uses a multi-disciplinary/case
management approach. While concentrating on cardiac/vascular health, the practice
considers all influences on health status and the related social and behavioral problems.
The theoretical basis for this nursing practice incorporates physiological and psychosocial
concepts of health as they affect cardiac/vascular wellness. (ANCC);
