Most insurance companies will cover all or part of the Cardiac Rehab program for patients with a diagnosis of a recent heart attack, stable angina, coronary artery bypass graft, angioplasty with or without a stent, valve repair or replacement and also a heart transplant.

About The Program

Each participant wears a portable heart monitor so that their heart rate and rhythm can be monitored throughout the session. Patients exercise at different levels related to their medical history, current ability and personal goals. Exercises are adjusted by the staff according to the patient’s progress.

Education is also a very important part of Cardiac Rehab. Education classes teach patients about the disease process and prevention strategies to improve healthy lifestyle choices. Class topics include risk factors, medication, nutrition, exercise education, and cardiac anatomy.
