Women and coronary heart disease. Implications for the critical care setting.
The unique issues of women and CHD in the critical care setting have been highlighted. Because of the lack of large scientific studies in women with CHD, there is a need for more information and research in this area. Critical care nurses can meet this challenge by keeping current with the literature, by attending closely to women's responses after the cardiac event, and by systematically investigating various aspects of women and CHD.
