What is Cardiac Rehab?
Cardiac rehab helps you get back to your normal life routine after major a cardiac event such as a heart attack, heart surgery, heart failure or stent surgery.
Cardiac rehab will help you live a heart healthy lifestyle and provide psychological support for the anxiety and depression often associated with a heart event or living with a heart condition.
Cardiac rehab gives you and your family the information, support, and advice you need to return to everyday life. Research has shown that cardiac rehab can reduce your risk of having another heart event.
