Cardiac Rehab

Would I benefit from cardiac rehab?

You may benefit from cardiac rehab if you’ve been treated with certain procedures or diagnosed with conditions such as:

• Angina
• Bypass surgery
• Coronary angioplasty/stent
• Heart attack (recovery or prevention)
• Elevated cholesterol
• Heart valve surgery

We’ll provide cardiac rehab even if you were treated for heart and vascular problems elsewhere. Talk to your doctor about a referral for our cardiac rehabilitation program.

What does cardiac rehabilitation involve?

A typical cardiac rehab program lasts four to 12 weeks with three sessions a week. Your plan will be tailored to your condition, needs and interests and will include a mix of:

• Monitored exercise – We’ll develop a personalized exercise plan that gets you back to a full life and includes activities you actually want to do.
• Medication management – Our therapists work with you and your doctor to make sure your medication works in coordination with your entire plan.
• Nutrition counseling – Our dietitians will help create a plan that keeps your heart healthy and your taste buds happy.
• Education – We provide individual counseling to help you understand your heart condition and follow through on lifestyle changes.
