Care of the Aortic Stenosis Patient Undergoing Transaortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
Nursing CEUs / TAVR
In this course, you will learn about aortic stenosis, which is the second most common valvular heart disease in the Western world, and is typically diagnosed after the age of 65. The elderly population in the U.S. is growing rapidly, so it is important to have a full understanding of aortic stenosis and its effects on the body. You will learn about the basics of the procedure, the post-operative care of TAVR patients, and potential complications.
