Cardiac Rehabilitation
If you’ve had a heart attack, cardiac surgery, a heart-lung transplant or are at
risk for coronary artery disease, we can help with your rehabilitation in our large
cardiac rehabilitation department.
We offer both Phase II and Phase III cardiac
rehabilitation.
Phase II therapy is intended to help you continue to recover and
improve your habits after you've been discharged from the hospital. The program
includes exercise, stress management, smoking cessation, diet, lifestyle modification
and home exercise. You will come to the program several times a week and while you
exercise we will monitor your heart rate and blood pressure.
After you’ve completed
Phase II, which can take up to 12 weeks, you can continue to come for Phase III
monitored exercise, which is a less-intense program that some patients elect to
continue for years.
