After recovering from a heart attack, getting your heart healthy and strong is essential. It's also necessary if you have heart disease or are at high risk for it.
The cardiac rehabilitation program at Emory Healthcare gives you support to live a healthier life. It includes three phases of care. Your care team will tailor each phase to your medical needs and family history.
Phase 1 is an inpatient program. It is for people who have had a heart attack or another cardiac issue.
This phase often includes physical therapy and education. The goal is to strengthen your heart. It also helps reduce your risk of another heart condition in the future.
Phase 2 is an outpatient service for people who have experienced conditions including:
You complete all exercises with electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and telemetry. These tools give you instant feedback on how hard your heart is working.
A team of nurses, exercise specialists, cardiologists and registered dietitians supervise your plan. They help you meet goals, manage your health and reduce your risk of recurrence.
This outpatient program is available after you complete Phase 2. You can also participate if you want to prevent heart disease.
Our trained rehab staff develops a personalized exercise plan with you and oversees your sessions. During this phase, you can take group exercise classes.
Your case manager offers support for making significant healthy lifestyle changes, which can improve your heart health.
