Cardiovascular pathophysiology encompasses understanding how the heart and blood vessels work normally and what happens when disease develops. Understanding atherosclerosis, heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertension at the cellular and systemic levels enables nurses to recognize disease progression and implement evidence-based interventions.
Cardiovascular diseases are leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Understanding pathophysiological mechanisms explains why symptoms develop, how diagnostic tests reveal disease, and why specific treatments work. Comprehensive pathophysiology knowledge builds clinical judgment for managing acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions.
