Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehab is an important part of the recovery process following a heart attack or other procedure, or if you are managing a condition like heart failure. Participation in a program of medically supervised exercise, lifestyle education (such as adopting a Mediterranean-style diet and maintaining a healthy weight), stress management, and support have been shown to reduce readmission to the hospital and risk of death by 25%.

 

Candidates for Cardiac Rehab
If you have any of the following conditions and/or procedures, you are likely eligible for cardiac rehabilitation:

• Heart attack
• Stable angina (chest pain)

• Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
• Heart valve repair or replacement (such as transcathether aortic valve replacement, or TAVR)
• Angioplasty (“balloon” procedure)

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the narrowing of the blood vessels serving your limbs due to the buildup of plaque. When you develop PAD, your legs don’t receive enough blood flow, causing pain, cramping, or fatigue in the leg or hip muscles when walking or climbing stairs (claudication). Typically, the pain goes away with rest.

In addition to treatment with your doctor, PAD rehabilitation can help manage your condition. Supervised Exercise Therapy (SET) consists of alternating exercise and rest in intervals to increase the amount of time you can walk before pain begins and limits your ability to function at your best.

During 36 sessions over 12 weeks, we will help manage your PAD and prevent future cardiovascular problems while helping you return to your best possible physical and emotional health.

Candidates for PAD Rehab
You are likely eligible for PAD rehab if you:

• Experience claudication (pain while walking) as part of your condition
• Are able to walk for at least two minutes

• Cherry Hill
• Moorestown
