Cardiac Rehabilitation
With a physician's referral, our cardiac rehabilitation team of healthcare professionals develops a program specifically for patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction, angina and for those who have had coronary artery bypass surgery of angioplasty.
A personalized program includes an exercise plan designed for the patient's particular needs along with education on the importance of diet, controlling cholesterol, blood pressure and weight, and eliminating the use of tobacco.
