About cardiac rehab
What’s a cardiac rehabilitation program?
Cardiac rehabilitation programs, also known as cardiac rehab, are a structured way to bring together all the things you need to do to keep your heart healthy after a diagnosis and surgery or procedure.
Cardiac rehabilitation programs include education on your heart, medications, healthy eating, mental health and wellbeing, managing risk factors, and returning to everyday life. They can also support you to get back to exercise under the guidance of a specialised team.
Why should I attend cardiac rehab?
Cardiac rehabilitation programs support your recovery from a recent diagnosis and surgery or procedure as you adjust to learning to live with a heart condition. People who attend a cardiac rehabilitation program have improved health and wellbeing and reduce their risk of having heart problems in the future.
Is cardiac rehabilitation for me?
Cardiac rehabilitation is suitable for people who have:
- experienced a cardiac arrest, heart attack, angina
- had a cardiac stent, bypass or valve surgery.
Some programs also cater for people living with heart failure, those who have had a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), and who are living with a heart rhythm problem such as atrial fibrillation.
