The aim of this course is to enable students to recognize cardiovascular system diseases, assess risk factors, and plan care, monitoring, and educational interventions for the individual within the scope of home-based patient care.
The course covers the basic anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system and the general characteristics of common cardiovascular diseases. Care approaches for hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and peripheral vascular disease are addressed. Furthermore, by focusing on topics such as pharmacological treatment, home-based patient monitoring, early recognition of complications, lifestyle modifications, rehabilitation, and patient-family education, the course develops students' skills in providing holistic care within the home care process.
