Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world and the second leading cause of death in France. Patients with coronary artery disease have a high risk of recurrence. Nevertheless, by acting on health determinants and secondary prevention, it is possible to reduce the risks. With the development of advanced nursing practice, a new professional with specific skills can take charge of and accompany people with this pathology. This player works in an interdisciplinary manner to provide holistic and optimal patient care.
