Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive, medically supervised recovery program, specifically designed for patients with heart disease.

Cardiac rehabilitation is one of the best things you can do for your heart following a diagnosis of heart attack or heart failure and after a procedure such as an angioplasty or heart surgery. CR programmes usually last for 10-12 weeks.

Remember: A healthy heart is a happy heart.

CR has three important components:

• Exercise counselling and training

• Education for healthy-heart living

• Counselling to reduce stress

Benefits of participating in Cardiac rehabilitation:

• Lower your risk of a future heart event.

• Eat better

• Lose weight

• Return to work

• Engage in daily activities you might have missed
