ABSTRACT
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are essential contributors to the contemporary cardiology workforce. The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, coupled with persistent clinician shortages, has accelerated the integration of NPs across ambulatory and acute settings. This article explores the contributions of NPs to cardiology care across a continuum from longitudinal patient care and prevention to leadership and translational science. Investment in NP education, training, and role utilization will be pivotal to shaping an efficient, patient-centered cardiology workforce for the future.
