Nursing Interventions and Their Impact on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Aortic Valve Vegetation and Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome

Abstract

Nursing interventions play a crucial role in managing cardiovascular risks in patients with aortic valve vegetation (AVV) and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). Nurses are key in anticoagulation therapy, infection prevention, cardiovascular risk management, and patient education. They also offer supportive counselling and promote lifestyle modification, including changes such as eating healthier and engaging in more frequent exercise, to improve patient outcomes. By enhancing self-care, medication adherence, and anxiety reduction, nursing interventions improve quality of life and reduce complication rates. These findings stress the critical contribution of nursing to the optimization of care, recovery enhancement, and minimization of cardiovascular risks among patients with AVV and APS.
