Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease incidence and prevalence rise dramatically with age, owing to longer exposure time to age-associated alterations, effects of medications in vascular function and structure and cardiovascular risk factors. A geriatric nurse taking care of an elderly patient must know immediate management of sudden onset symptoms and must identify the early-warning indicators to manage the conditions.

At the end of the lesson you will be able to understand the symptoms and management of:

1. Cardiac arrest 
2. Dysrhythmias
3. Diabetic disorders 
4. Stroke
5. Heart attack
