Cardiac Rehabilitation
After having a heart attack, heart surgery or a stent put in to open a blocked coronary artery, what’s the best thing you can do for your heart, arteries and long-term health? Give yourself a gold star if you answered “go through a cardiac rehabilitation program.”
Program Benefits
Cardiac rehabilitation programs are shown to reduce deaths by up to 25 percent during the first years following a heart attack or procedure. And, the benefits go beyond survival and heart health. Cardiac rehab also improves muscle strength, lung function, and endurance, all of which are essential for returning to an active life after a heart attack or other cardiac event.
Our Program
St. Anthony' s program goes beyond medically supervised exercise, to include strategies to reduce modifiable risk factors, including nutrition, diabetes, exercise, stress management, weight management and smoke cessation.
St. Anthony's cardiac rehabilitation program is certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation and is under the supervision of a physician.
Insurance Information
Most insurance companies cover all or part of the rehabilitation for individuals who have:
- had a heart attack;
- undergone angioplasty, with or without a stent;
- had bypass surgery;
- stable angina (chest pain on exertion);
- had a heart valve repaired or replaced;
- undergone a heart or heart-lung transplant.
Phase III extended exercise program is a self pay program for both rehab graduates and new patients who need guidance and supervision to ensure safe exercise.
