Summary

The time spent waiting for heart surgery can be extremely stressful. This programme aims to address this by providing a home-based, nurse-led support and education programme. Patients will be followed up in their own homes monthly by a cardiac nurse and given lifestyle advice and information to prepare them for surgery. This will be evaluated to test whether providing this support improves patients' anxiety and quality of life while they wait and also whether their blood pressure, weight and cholesterol are reduced and they have a smoother recovery as a consequence.
