Cardiac Rehabilitation

Bringing your body up to speed

Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, is the leading cause of deaths in men and women. Every year, 57,000 people suffer a heart attack, claiming on average, 19 people per day.

Increasing incidental physical activity and engaging in structured exercise sessions can help reduce risk or assist in managing cardiovascular disease. Engaging in light-moderate exercise, aiming for 30 minutes on most days, is recommended. For patients with cardiovascular disease, it is generally recommended to avoid vigorous exercise.

Our exercise physiologists are trained to manage and administer exercise safely to those with cardiovascular disease, making exercise suitable for those:

• Pre or post heart attack
• Pre or post heart surgery.
• With cardiovascular disease/complications.

Supervision of exercise is especially important if you present with symptoms such as hypertension, angina, hypotension, resting tachycardias, or arrhythmias.
