Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing for an Elderly Patient with Atrial Fibrillation Comorbid with Anxiety Disorder
This article summarizes the integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine nursing experience for an elderly patient with atrial fibrillation (AF) comorbid with anxiety disorder. Guided by syndrome differentiation-based care, a personalized nursing plan was developed for the patient based on the principles of integrated medicine. This case demonstrates that the dual-heart nursing model, by breaking the "heart-psychology" vicious cycle, significantly improves the physical and psychological outcomes of comorbid patients. The integrated nursing approach is economical, convenient, safe, and effective, enhancing the quality of life for elderly AF patients with anxiety disorder.
