Appropriate candidates

Research shows that participation in medically-supervised physical activity after a cardiac event can lower a person’s future risk of a heart attack, as well as help them live longer than a patient who does not participate in cardiac rehab. The chances for survival improve for those who take part in these life-saving programs.

A physician referral is required to participate in a cardiac rehab program. And your cardiologist or primary care provider can best determine if and when you are ready to begin. You may be a candidate if you have experienced any of the following:

• Recent heart attack
• Angioplasty and/or stent
• Heart bypass | Transplant | Valve surgery
• Stable angina | Chronic heart failure

What Can You Expect

Our rehabilitation program incorporates personalized physical activities tailored to your needs. You will learn about important lifestyle changes, including dietary habits, stress management, and smoking cessation.

Medical experts meticulously supervise you to guarantee the exercises' safety and effectiveness, adjusting the regimen whenever necessary.
