Patient and Family Education Handouts | 8-Page PDF | 2026–27 Edition

Six plain-language templates for cardiac patients and their families — editable one-page handouts you can actually give someone at discharge.

Covers catheterization, stents, heart surgery before and after, cardiac devices, and heart attack recovery. Written for anxious readers rather than for chart review, with blanks left for your facility's own numbers, contacts, and follow-up instructions.

Built to be handed over, not filed — print, fill in, and send home.

Part of Cardiac Nurse Playbooks. Instant PDF download, yours to keep.

Educational reference material for licensed clinicians and students. Not medical advice, not a protocol, and not a substitute for your facility's approved patient education materials or physician instructions. Review against your own institution's requirements before distributing to patients.
