Abstract

CAD reflects an alteration in the dynamic nature of coronary conduits. This alteration in function can be precipitated by a constellation of pathologic processes and combination of risk behaviors. Nursing intervention based on knowledge of pathophysiology of CAD and its interaction with risk factors and behaviors can play an important role in prevention of sequelae and development of effective therapeutic strategies.
