Cardiac rehab is a customized outpatient program of exercise and education. The program is designed to improve your health and help you recover from a heart attack, other forms of heart disease, or surgery to treat heart disease.

Cardiac rehab involves exercise training, emotional support, and education on ways to reduce heart disease risk, such as heart-healthy eating, maintaining a healthy weight, and quitting smoking.

Goals in cardiac rehab are to establish a plan to help you regain your strength, prevent your condition from worsening, reduce future heart risk, and improve your health and quality of life.
