Provide direct patient care across the care continuum, including performing histories and physical exams, diagnosing and managing acute and chronic conditions (e.g., heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease), and ordering/interpreting diagnostic tests (e.g., ECGs, echocardiograms, vascular studies). Educate patients and their families on disease processes, treatment options, risk factor modification (diet, exercise, smoking cessation), and self-management strategies to promote optimal health outcomes and prevent disease progression.
