title: Heart health: treatment.
abstract: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single most common cause of death in England and it has been estimated that about 26 per cent of all deaths each year are caused by CHD (Department of Health 1993). In light of this, it is important that all nurses understand the current investigations and treatment available for people with CHD.
