Communication in end-of-life cardiac care 1: difficult issues.

This is a two-part unit on communication issues in end-stage cardiac disease. Part 1 discusses the main communication problems relevant to end-stage heart failure. Patients may wish to discuss end-of-life issues but are denied the chance to do so as nursing staff often lack the skills or confidence in dealing with such issues.
