Cardiac Rehab
Personalized Programs Utilizing Cutting-Edge Treatment & Diagnosis Technology
While nothing can turn back the clock and prevent what happened to your heart, you can improve your heart’s future. Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program that is useful for those who have sustained a heart attack or other cardiac event and patients who have had open-heart surgery, angioplasty, or ongoing chest pain.
Our primary goal is to help each client build up cardiopulmonary strength to prevent further cardiac problems and prevent post-heart attack hospital admissions and complications. Our rehab specialists are trained to help patients develop a healthier lifestyle by helping you modify their specific risk factors. For instance, you can promote your heart health by eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and working on self-soothing when you are stressed.
Am I Eligible for Cardiac Rehab?
You may be eligible for cardiac rehab if you have had:
- Angina

What Does Treatment Look Like?
During phase 1 (initiation), we will educate you about the cardiac event you sustained, inform you on your new medication, and provide guidelines for home activities. Following the first 12 weeks of cardiac rehab, a maintenance phase begins, with continued supervised exercise for as long as the client wishes to continue in the program. The multidisciplinary program includes help from the following specialists: doctors, dietitians, pharmacists, physical and respiratory therapists, stress managers, and psychologists.
Our patients exercise in a monitored environment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, following a progressive aerobic plan in the Cardiopulmonary Gym. Education is offered if special assistance is required to aid the individual needs of client.
