More than 60 million Americans have health problems related to heart and circulatory disorders. In the United States, cardiovascular disease causes more deaths than all other causes of death combined for both men and women.
Age, gender and family history play an important role in determining who will develop the disease, but there’s more to the story. The lifestyle choices we face every day also make a difference. Do you tend to ignore medical advice for preventing or controlling high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol? Are you overweight? Do you smoke? Can your life be summed up by one word: S-T-R-E-S-S?
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, and if you have recently had a heart attack, bypass surgery or angioplasty or have stable cardiovascular disease, you may be a candidate for cardiovascular rehabilitation.
Cardiovascular rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to reduce the risk of recurring coronary artery disease and to improve overall health. Participants learn to follow an effective exercise plan, improve their diet, quit smoking, reduce stress and generally take control of their health — all with the warm, expert support of our medical team, including advanced cardiac life supportcertified nurses and exercise physiologists.
