Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death and disability in most European Union countries. Secondary prevention has become the foundation of treatment, but most patients do not meet the standards of guidelines that predispose them to disease progression, recurrent events, and repeated hospitalizations. Our society is changing rapidly, new trends are coming, and digitalization is emerging that enters all aspects of our lives. The increasingly complex and demanding needs of patients are leading to changes that require nurses to acquire a higher level of knowledge, skills and competencies.

The education of cardiac nurses in developed countries has followed the development trends of modern cardiac practice. In cooperation with the health care system and professional societies, and in accordance with the requirements of clinical practice, programs and methods of implementing specialist programs for education and certification are created. In this way, nurses, in addition to the combination of skills, knowledge and attitudes they have acquired through their previous training, acquire and develop additional clinical competencies.

By implementing specialist programs in the educational system of nurses in accordance with the acquired competencies, and examples of cardiac nursing practice in developed countries speak in favor of this. Nurses, as the most numerous health professionals, must get a leading role in modern preventive cardiology and rehabilitation programs because they can give a great deal in reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases.
