Cardiovascular Care encompasses specialised medical attention and treatment aimed at maintaining and improving the health of the cardiovascular system.
At the heart of our Cardiovascular Care Team, our Nurse Clinicians play a vital role in patient education, disease management, and self-monitoring strategies. Through a patient-centered approach, we empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their heart health effectively, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
Specific areas of care are:
Patient Education
We provide individualised cardiac education and counselling to both inpatients and outpatients, equipping them with essential knowledge about their condition. Our goal is to empower patients with confidence in managing their health post-discharge, ensuring they can make informed decisions and engage in effective self-care.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is a medically supervised initiative designed to support heart patients in regaining their optimal physical, social, and psychological well-being. The program includes:
- Personalised education and counselling on lifestyle modifications
- Structured, prescribed exercise training within safe clinical guidelines
- Strength and stamina-building activities
- Risk factor modification strategies to prevent future cardiac events
By fostering sustainable lifestyle changes, our rehabilitation program reduces the risk of recurrent heart conditions and enhances long-term health outcomes.
Heart Failure Management
Our nursing-led Heart Failure Management Program adopts a comprehensive approach, focusing on:
- Continuous patient assessment and education
- Medication adherence support
- Telephonic monitoring to prevent heart failure-related hospitalisations
- Coordination with interdisciplinary healthcare teams for holistic care
Through proactive management and early intervention, we strive to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of heart failure-related complications.
