A Cardiac Care Nurse is a specialized nurse who cares for patients with heart diseases or conditions, from coronary artery disease to heart failure and recovery from bypass surgery. The role of a Cardiac Care Nurse involves examining patients, performing stress test evaluations, and monitoring heart activity and electrocardiograms.

In addition, they help patients manage their symptoms, provide emotional support, and assist with rehabilitation and recovery after heart procedures.
