    Cardiac Nursing Made Simple

    Melhor citação de Cardiac Nursing Made Simple

    “

    At its core, heart failure is about the heart's inability to pump enough blood to meet the body's metabolic demands, but it's not always about a weak pump; sometimes the heart muscle is strong but can't relax properly to fill. Recognizing these subtle early signs of decompensation is where real nursing expertise comes in.
