The Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation Centre aims to promote and restore the well being of individuals and families who face cardiovascular difficulties. The program is now available to people who have been diagnosed as having heart disease. In the future, we hope to bring the program to those who are at risk of developing heart disease. Taking charge of your health is one of the best ways to lower your risk of having more heart problems in the future. Learning more about heart health is the best way to start to take charge.
Many factors increase the risk of heart disease.
Some factors, such as age, sex, and family history, cannot be changed. However, you can do something about other factors such as high cholesterol, weight problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, stress, and lack of exercise. By following a healthy lifestyle and using medications where needed, you can lower the risk of future heart problems. The members of the cardiac rehabilitation team are here to help you and your family. We'll help you learn more about the drugs that have been prescribed for you.
