Cardiac Rehabilitation
A structured, medically supervised programme that helps you recover strength and confidence after a heart procedure or diagnosis.
What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured programme combining supervised exercise, education, and lifestyle guidance, designed to support your recovery following a heart procedure, heart attack, or diagnosis of heart disease. Under the supervision of a cardiac care team, you follow a progressive exercise plan tailored to your heart's current capacity, gradually building strength and cardiovascular fitness in a safe, monitored environment. The programme also includes education on heart-healthy nutrition, stress management, and long-term lifestyle habits that support ongoing heart health. Sessions typically take place over several weeks, with your progress closely tracked throughout.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Recovery following bypass surgery, valve surgery, or angioplasty
- Recovery after a heart attack
- A diagnosis of heart disease requiring structured lifestyle support
- A need for supervised, safe exercise guidance following a cardiac event
- A recommendation from your cardiologist as part of your recovery plan
How does this procedure help?
Cardiac rehabilitation helps you rebuild strength and confidence safely, under medical supervision, reducing the anxiety many patients feel about physical activity after a heart event. Beyond the physical benefits, the programme's education and lifestyle guidance supports long-term heart health and can reduce the risk of future cardiac events. Most patients complete the programme with meaningfully improved fitness, confidence, and a clear understanding of how to protect their heart health going forward.
