Because of advances in treating heart patients, the number of Americans surviving with coronary artery disease has actually doubled over the past three to five years and now stands at an estimated 13.5 million patients. Potentially all of these people could benefit from cardiac rehabilitation services.
Exercise is of paramount importance in a cardiac rehabilitation program.
Almost every type of heart patient can benefit from supervised physical training. Our comprehensive education program is an extension of the care prescribed by the physician and serves to improve the physical and emotional well being of the patient. Since CHD is life-style related and can be an inherited disease, it is important that your spouse and children do all they can to decrease their own risk of heart disease. Heart rate, blood pressure and Electrocardiogram may be monitored as you exercise. You will gain confidence and feel safe in a medically supervised setting.
