National Harbor, Maryland: Nurses in Nuclear Cardiology: A Leadership Role

What do advances in pharmacologic stress mean for the cardiology nurse? Join us for presentations by leaders in the ¬field of nuclear cardiology and dinner to ¬find out. Physician and nurse experts will discuss the latest innovations in pharmacologic stress as well as preparing patients for radionuclide imaging. This program was created as part of Astellas’ commitment to nuclear cardiology nurses. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Nurses play a key role in the process of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)—from scheduling through image acquisition. They are generally responsible for patient preparation and education. They also often lead the patient through the entire process, providing continued direction and support. Because Lexiscan requires no pump infusion and has a faster administration than the other vasodilators, healthcare professionals will need to assess how it fits into current protocols. This program will familiarize nurses with Lexiscan, its administration, and appropriate patient preparation. For more information or to RSVP, visit http://www.nuclearnurse.com.
