Abstract
Abstract Aim.This review study was done with the purpose of exploring the role of diabetes role in the development of atherosclerosis. Background.The process of accumulation of fat in the blood vessels is called atherosclerosis. The most important risk factors and aggravating condition of atherosclerosis are the accumulation of carbohydrates and diabetes. Method.In this study, we reviewed the electronic and manual searches of databases such as Medline, Embase, Springer, Blackwell Synergy, Elsevier, Scopus, Cochran Library and the databases SID, Iran Medex and Magiran within the time period of 2005 -2015. Findings.The most common cause of death in patients with diabetes is coronary artery disease. Because nitric oxide production is higher in diabetic patients, the process of atherosclerosis occurs more rapidly and coagulation cascade disorder leads to the platelet adhesion, so, diabetic people, especially women, are more prone to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Conclusion.Nurses can modify several risk factors for atherosclerosis in these patients through education and follow-up, thereby, improving quality of life in these patients.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using “Pain Assessment Tool” by nurses on analgesics requirement and patient’s satisfaction after coronary bypass graft surgery.
Background. One of the main duties of caregivers in ICU is relieving patients’ pain. Using "Pain Assessment Tool" may have a positive effect on the choice of analgesics and dosage adjustment with patients’ requirements. More research is still needed.
Method. In a clinical trial, 153 hospitalized patients in the intensive care unit were selected randomly and were divided into two experimental (n=77) and Control group (n=76). The Pain Assessment Tool and pain management for 48 hours were implemented for conscious patients. Routine measures were taken into account for control group and the severity of pain and analgesic injection for experimental group were determined. In both groups, the amount of analgesics administered for pain relief, and patient satisfaction were recorded. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16.
Findings. The use of Pain Assessment Tool increased the number of recipients of analgesic drugs and reduced their dosage over 48 hours in the experimental group. Also, the satisfaction of pain relief was higher in the experimental group than the control group (p<0.0001).
Conclusion. The findings of this study demonstrate the positive effect of Pain Assessment Tool on pain control, proper use of analgesics, prescribing the proper dose of analgesics based on patients’ pain and satisfaction improvement. The measurement of pain severity using Pain Assessment Tool, before and after analgesics administration is suggested.

Abstract
Aim. This review study was conducted to review the relationship between cardiovascular disease and vascular dementia in the elderly.
Background. The aging of the world population has increased dramatically. Chronic diseases related to aging, such as dementia, vascular and cardiovascular disease also have increased as a major health problem with a large impact on community health and family.
Method. The studies published between 2000 and 2017 were searched for in databases and search engines Google scholar, Pumped, Science Direct, Magiran, IranMedex, and SID by the keywords dementia, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, heart failure, cognitive impairment, elderly, older adult, and atrial fibrillation and their Persian meanings.
Findings. The factors such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and atherosclerosis are considered as the main causes of vascular dementia, especially in the elderly.
Conclusion. In the elderly, cardiovascular disorders, especially those with chronic nature have a considerable effect on cognitive performance impairment and vascular dementia.

Abstract
Aim. The present review study was conducted with the aim of exploring what nurses should know about interactions of diet containing vitamin K with warfarin.
Background. Warfarin is one of the most widely used oral anticoagulants. Dietary interactions, mainly due to vitamin K, are a common concern when consuming warfarin. In the meantime, the nurse, as the first person in the care chain and the main person in charge of patient education, can play an important role in reducing these interactions, which is a challenge for patients.
Method. The present review study was conducted through searching out library as well as databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, Up-to-date, OVID, CINAHL, Magiran and SID using Persian keywords of warfarin, dietary interactions, vitamin k diet, patient and nurse education and their English equivalents in the period 1999 to 2021. Out of a total of 30 articles found, 8 articles were reviewed after screening the articles.
Finding. The findings of this study showed that the amount of vitamin K intake in the diet should be kept constant. This is 90 to 120 micrograms per day. Patients should be properly and continuously educated about vitamin K in various foods and supplements. In the meantime, the role of the nurse as one of the pillars of patient education is very important and fundamental.
Conclusion. Due to the role of the nurse in educating these patients, it is recommended that education about dietary interactions be used using authoritative sources. It is possible with methods such as preparing a clinical guide, making a video and designing an application, and including tables of vitamin K levels in foods.

Abstract
Aim. This review study was conducted with the aim of highlighting the importance of a preoperative preventive approach in the recovery of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
Background. With the increase in the number of patients who are candidated for heart surgery, improving the health status before the operation is of great importance to optimize the results after the operation. This review has been conducted with the aim of evaluating the evidence related to the pre-rehabilitation of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
Method. The present literature review was conducted by searching out library resources and databases, Scopus, Chochrane Library, Magiran, SID, PubMed, Up-to-date, OVID, CINAHL, and Web of Science with the keywords, coronary artery bypass surgery, pre-rehabilitation, cardiovascular disease and their Persian equivalents without time limit. From a total of 104 articles, 63 full texts articles entered the review stage, of which 17 articles entered the literature review.
Findings. The findings indicate the favorable effects of pre-rehabilitation on improving the quality of life and preventing complications in the early postoperative period. Pre-rehabilitation programs should adopt multifaceted approaches including nutrition, exercise, and anxiety reduction to improve patient resilience in the preoperative period. The pre-operative period is a critical opportunity to implement pre-rehabilitation interventions for vulnerable patients awaiting cardiac surgery.
Conclusion. Cardiac pre-rehabilitation includes a wide range of preventive interventions that can be taught by nurses to patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Pre-rehabilitation requires an interdisciplinary approach, because it suggests a change from the current model of health care and transformation from one-dimensional care to interdisciplinary care, which can be an effective tool for the medical and nursing system in timely identification of physical and mental disorders in initial preoperative assessment, preoperative education and management, as well as prevention of postoperative complications.
