Why Cardiac Rehab Is Important

If you're managing a heart condition or recovering from heart surgery or cardiac catheterization, cardiac rehabilitation is an important part of taking care of your health.

Our cardiac rehab team includes doctors, registered nurses, exercise physiologists, pharmacists and dietitians. We’ll work with you to design a personalized program that’s right for you. We can help you regain the strength and confidence you need to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Our Cardiac Rehab Program

The first phase of our three-phase program begins when you’re in the hospital. A rehab specialist will meet with you to discuss your needs and put together a rehab plan based on your lifestyle and goals.

Exercise and Education

Phase two begins a few weeks after you’ve left the hospital and lasts six to 12 weeks. Your rehab therapist will update your doctors on your progress as you go through the program.

Your program includes:

  • Three exercise sessions each week, led by a rehab therapist who will guide you through exercise and monitor your heart while you work out.
  • Weekly education sessions that cover stress management, nutrition, medicine and other factors that affect your risk of disease. We schedule these around your exercise sessions so it’s convenient for you.
  • One-on-one counseling to help you modify your heart disease risk factors.
  • A personalized exercise plan that you can follow long term.

Most insurance plans cover part or all of the second phase of the program, but check with your insurance provider about your coverage.

Maintain Your Fitness

The third phase of our rehab program is exercise maintenance, which doesn’t include medical monitoring. An exercise physiologist will continue to work with you on your fitness goals. This phase of the program is self-pay and isn’t covered by insurance.

At the St. Elizabeth Heart & Vascular Institute, we understand that a heart condition can be challenging. It’s a life-changing event — we help you make it a change for the better.
