Nursing aspects of the surgical treatment of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.
Preoperative and postoperative nursing assessments and interventions of patients with IHSS are similar in principle to those for other adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The potential complications following left ventriculomyotomy-myectomy are identified in Table III. The complications are paralleled with major nursing interventions. In summary, IHSS patients specifically are at greater risk of preoperative sudden death and postoperative dysrhythmias which warrants discriminating nursing observation.
