Cardiac Rehabilitation
What is Cardiac Rehab?
Cardiac rehabilitation (often referred to as cardiac rehab) is a medically supervised program that helps patients recover quickly and provides knowledge to prevent future heart issues. Medicare and most insurance companies will cover cardiac rehab for a patient if they have had:
- Angioplasty
- Coronary artery bypass graft
- Heart attacks within the last year
- Heart/lung transplant
- Heart valve repair or replacement
- Stable angina
- Heart failure
Our Program
Typically will last 6-12 weeks; (18-36 sessions; 2-3 times a week)
All patients in the program will be placed on a heart monitor during all exercises. Sessions will last approximately one hour.
Each session will consist of:
- Aerobic training — treadmill and stationary bike
- Resistance training — machines with added weight (pulleys)
- Both training forms have been proven to improve one’s overall health
- Educational programs are offered, given by guest speakers and program staff members
- All sessions are supervised by our ACLS-certified team, medical director, registered nurses and an exercise physiologist
- A doctor is always on staff during every session
