What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation is a professionally supervised program to help people recover safely from serious heart conditions, reduce the risk of future heart problems, and make changes to improve overall health. Most heart disease patients that participate in cardiac rehab have experienced one, or more, of the following: heart attack, heart surgery, or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures such as stenting and angioplasty.
