Cardiac Rehab is a 12-week program generally beginning after discharge from the hospital or when safely determined by a doctor. This consists of structured, individualized exercise to increase endurance early in recovery as well as education to assist the patient in making lifestyle changes. Heart rate, heart rhythm and blood pressure are constantly monitored by a registered nurse. The program includes exercise sessions three times a week for about an hour. Sessions involve a warm-up period, aerobic type exercise (performed on a treadmill, Nustep, Elliptical and bicycle) and end with a cool down period. Education is provided following each session.

Sessions are conducted at the hospital and offer the opportunity to increase individual activity levels safely and confidently through the structure and guidance of a trained personal cardiac rehabilitation professional.
