ROLE OF THE NURSE PRACTITIONIER IN THE PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN WOMEN

Introduction There are significant and advanced levels of interventions that could be adopted in preventing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in women. In history, there have been numerous publications and corresponding ecommendations since the year 1999. However, despite myriad research on treatment of CVD, it has constantly remained to be a global threat against women especially in the United States and other parts of the developed world. In women, CVD related deaths exceeds number of deaths exhibited in men, and also the next 7 causes of deaths in women globally (Gu et. al., 2005). This could conversely be approximated as 1 death in every 2 minutes. Research indicates that, among the cardiovascular diseases in women, Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for majority of deaths exhibited. The CVD is disproportionately afflicting both racial and ethnic minorities hence it could be regarded as a prime target for prevention (Ross et. al., 2009; Pochciol & Warren, 2009).
