Will cardiac rehabilitation improve my treatment?

Cardiac rehabilitation helps your heart regain strength. It provides extra support for changing your lifestyle. It involves nutritional counseling and monitored exercise.

Your healthcare provider may recommend cardiac rehab if you need heart surgery. You also may qualify for rehab if you are recovering from a heart attack or stroke.

Cardiac rehabilitation may also be a good choice if you have trouble sticking to your cardiovascular disease treatment plan on your own. Ask your provider if you qualify for a hospital-based program. They may recommend another safe, healthy program for you.
