In this essay I will discuss theoretical principals of rehabilitation of a particular patient I cared for while on clinical placement. It will focus on the role of the multidisciplinary team involved in this rehabilitation process post acute myocardial infarction and the education and support given to the patient and her family during the discharge planning process. Also I will be including statistics and evidence of pathophysiology. The National Service Framework for Older People (Department of

Cardiac Surgeon Cardiac surgeons treat valvular heart diseases such as valve stenosis or vessel insufficiency‚ ischemic heart disease‚ coronary artery disease‚ atherosclerosis and congenital defects. They treat these diseases by repairing or replacing heart valves‚ widen clogged arteries‚ repair aortic aneurysms‚ implant defibrillators and pacemakers‚ and perform double‚ triple‚ quadruple‚ and sometimes even quintuple heart bypasses. Cardiac surgeons must complete internships and residency requirements

It occurs when the coronary arteries that supply the heart blood become narrowed‚ and eventually occluded. This narrowing typically takes place because of plaque build up due to cholesterol and other fatty substances being ingested‚ also called atherosclerosis. This thickening of the artery wall can take many years‚ eventually completely inhibiting

This compound is expelled through the body as an excretory product by the kidneys‚ through urination 2. Coronary heart diseases like atherosclerosis are a result of calcium/ mineral deposits inside the arteries‚ which leads to the hardening of the arteries. This hinders blood flow and can be very dangerous. Because EDTA can minimize the amount of calcium in the
