Summary
Cardiovascular diseases include coronary artery disease, stroke, hypertensive heart disease, valvular heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, aortic aneurysm and dissection, peripheral arterial disease, and deep venous thrombosis [1]. Pulmonary diseases include asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, and tuberculosis [2]. Both cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders share symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, and leg swelling. The literature is rich in interventions that aim to prevent or treat cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders. This chapter not only reviews the evidence for wellness interventions that can be implemented beyond traditional methods that are utilized to address cardiovascular and pulmonary symptom severity, but also explores the evidence for interventions that primarily improve wellness in patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary pathology.
