What does cardiac rehabilitation involve?

The heart plays an important role in our health, and it is important to give it the proper attention after heart problems.

Cardiac rehabilitation helps restore heart function and increases the overall tone of the body.

It is a comprehensive approach to restoring cardiovascular health, aimed at improving the quality of your life after heart disease or surgery. This process includes physical activity, healthy lifestyle education and psychological support to achieve optimal physical and emotional condition.

So how does rehabilitation work? ❤️‍🩹

Before the course begins, you will be invited to a conversation with members of your cardiac rehabilitation team. This is an opportunity to discuss what is important to you. The medical team will check your physical capabilities, medical limitations and risk of heart complications. This will help create a safe and effective rehabilitation program for you.

Exercise and training🚶🏻

An important component for the recovery of the cardiovascular system. Specially designed physical activity programs help strengthen the heart, improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure. Physical activity should be individualized and supervised by medical professionals.

Education 📑
