The nursing standards of cardiovascular nursing developed by the American Nurses Association (2008), the nursing standards developed by the Korea Nurses Association (2003) and a clinical manual of patients with CAD developed by K teaching hospital were reviewed. Literature regarding CAD nursing standards was also reviewed.
