Cardiac catheterization helps in the diagnosis of vascular diseases and acts in their treatment. It also shows the condition of the coronary arteries, diagnoses and treats heart valves, as well as various malformations. It is used as part of the diagnosis considered the "Gold Standard" in interventional cardiology. It is important to highlight that for patients who, due to their condition and diagnosis, will undergo catheterization, the education provided about self-care is crucial for successful recovery. This is because they may experience subsequent events months or years after the procedure. It is very important for patients to understand that the procedure alone will not guarantee success in returning to their Normal" life. Significant changes in lifestyle are necessary, including diet, stopping harmful habits that affect their health, incorporating exercise routines, receiving psychological support, involving the family in the recovery process, following medication instructions, and complying with treatment before and after the procedure. All this work is carried out in an integrated manner by a trained healthcare team, led by the nurse who ensures that the entire process is completed day by day. Therefore, improving self-care for a person after catheterization leads to better outcomes, as self-care is an active phenomenon, an intentional and deliberate action determined by the individual's knowledge and skill set. The ability for self-care is not innate; on the contrary, it develops throughout life and is influenced by the beliefs, habits, and practices maintained by the individual's social group.
