Cardiac Rehabilitation is designed to help people with heart disease recover faster from recent events (such as a heart attack or heart surgery), so they may return to full and productive lives. Cardiac Rehab is designed for individuals with known heart disease. The program emphasis is on making positive lifestyle changes that will enable each person to better manage their disease.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) it can be frightening. CHF refers to the state in which decreased heart function is accompanied by the buildup of body fluid in the lungs and elsewhere. This is a serious condition that has no cure, yet you can live a full and enjoyable life with the right treatment and ongoing attention to your lifestyle. Cardiopulmonary Rehab can help.
Individual goals may vary including weight loss, reduction of blood pressure, slowing the progression of heart disease and hopefully decreasing medical expenses and hospitalizations in the future. Benefits of participating in a cardiac rehab program include: increased strength and endurance, reduction of cardiac risk factors, better physical, mental and emotional health and decreased stress levels.
