Cardiovascular diseases represent in France 400 deaths per day and 20 billion euros of expenses annuals. Heart failure, coronary heart disease and infarction, arterial hypertension, arrhythmias, thromboembolic risk are the main pathologies concerned.
These pathologies require the control of risk factors by maintaining a blood pressure balance, a balanced diet, weight management, smoking cessation, and the regular practice of a activity physical. The Prado programs initiated by Health Insurance have been extended to heart failure and COPD, the aim being to avoid re-hospitalization for decompensation through better monitoring and early detection of warning signs.
Numerous studies have shown that reinforced home care can reduce re-hospitalizations linked to these chronic pathologies. Sometimes diseased lungs (chronic diseases such as obstructive pulmonary disease) interfere with blood circulation and this affects the right heart upstream, thus causing heart failure.
The National Convention strengthens the place and the role of private nurses in the follow-up of patients with chronic pathologies, among other things, by creating a new act relating to the clinical monitoring of these patients leaving hospital to detect warning signs. and prevent the occurrence of a decompensation episode.
