The worldwide personal and societal costs related to diseases of the vascular system are enormous. International research efforts have focused on discovering ways to implement prevention strategies shown to be both effective and cost-efficient. Teams comprising health care professionals with expertise in nursing, dietetics, physical activity, and behavioral skills have shown high levels of success in preventive efforts, particularly in high-risk and vulnerable populations. Used appropriately, team-based, nurse-directed case management has the potential to effect positive change in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiac and other vascular diseases.
