The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is a lifestyle modification and rehabilitation program for patients recovering from a myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery or angioplasty.

The program consists of a three day per week monitored exercise program supervised by a registered nurse in which the duration and intensity of exercise is increased over a 12 week period. Patients are progressed through program based on their heart rate response as well as the Borg Scale scores.

In addition to the exercise portion of the program, patients are encouraged to attend the seven, one hour, education classes which focus on lifestyle modification and compliance. Topics include heart healthy eating, fats and cholesterol, stress management, home exercise guidelines, risk factors for heart disease and a one hour class taught by a pharmacist on the more common cardiac medications. A dietician is also available for dietary consultations on patients.
