About Cardiac Care

How Cardiac Rehab Supports Recovery After Surgery?

After heart surgery, patients may experience tiredness, reduced stamina, weakness and difficulty returning to their normal routine. Cardiac rehabilitation provides a structured way to gradually increase physical activity while monitoring the person's response to exercise. It can also include education, nutrition, medication support and lifestyle changes. For people undergoing open heart surgery recovery, supervised rehabilitation can help them work towards improved mobility and physical function. After bypass surgery, cardiac rehab is an important part of ongoing recovery and secondary prevention.
