Cardiac Rehabilitation is a supervised program that is designed to improve heart health through supervised exercise and risk factor education.
There are three phases of Cardiac Rehabilitation that are offered at the Monroe Clinic:
Phase I
This takes place in the inpatient setting and includes education and ambulation for individuals diagnosed with a heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty or those who have multiple risk factors for heart disease.
Phase II
(MWF @ 8:15am, 9:30 am or 1:00 pm)
This early outpatient program takes place in our Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Center. Each patient has an individualized treatment plan that works towards secondary risk factor reduction. Additionally, patients progress through a supervised exercise program that is designed for their specific needs. Insurance companies frequently cover this program for individuals with the recent diagnosis of:
- Heart attack
- Heart catheterization and stent placement
- Coronary artery bypass surgery
- Heart Valve repair or replacement
- Stable angina
- Heart transplant
- Heart failure
Phase III
(MWF @ 6:15 am - 4:00 pm or TuTh @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm)
This is a maintenance program that takes place in our Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Center. Participants pay a monthly fee that includes supervision, blood pressure and heart rate evaluation and instruction on proper exercise progression. Individuals with a previous diagnosis of heart disease or those who are working towards risk factor reduction are eligible to attend.
