Cardiac Rehabilitation |
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Center at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast has one goal: To put the beat back in your step!
Focus on Recovery
The staff of cardiac rehabilitation is dedicated to providing our patients a better quality of life. With supervised and monitored exercise sessions, cardiac rehabilitation can potentially:
- Increase cardiovascular and muscular exercise capacity
- Enhance cardiac functions and reduce the cardiac workload
- Monitor medicinal effects through increased levels of activity
- Relieve stress and/or anxiety
- Help patients progress to an independent exercise program
Quality Care
The center offers the newest equipment and latest technology in cardiac monitoring. As a patient of the cardiac rehabilitation center you are provided an individual exercise and educational program to improve your physical and psychological well being. The medical staff that will work with you includes exercise physiologists and registered nurses who work under the supervision of a team of cardiologists.
Lifestyle Changes
Cardiovascular disease accounts for more than half of all deaths in the United States. A cardiac event can bring about many changes in your life. Through subtle and steady changes, you can become more active, eat healthier, relax and improve the way you handle stress. By implementing these changes into your daily routine, you will increase your chance of living longer, increasing your energy, losing weight, and gaining strength.
Are you a Candidate?
If you are a heart attack survivor, have stable angina, have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery, had an angioplasty or had any other cardiac procedure, you may be considered as a candidate for cardiac rehabilitation. If you or someone you know is a candidate for cardiac rehabilitation, please consult your primary care physician or cardiologist to explore your eligibility.
