Cardiac Rehabilitation
Comprehensive Program Designed to Fight Heart Disease
Following a heart disease diagnosis, heart attack or cardiovascular surgery,
cardiac rehab is a program designed for not only the patient, but also
their families to help the patient get back to the best possible heart
health. Memorial’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Program uses a multidisciplinary
approach to teach cardiac patients and their families about the disease
process, risk factor modification, heart-healthy eating, and how to exercise
safely to improve both their heart health and their quality of life.
