Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and
Vascular Rehabilitation
 Maintenance
and Prevention Programs
Cardiac, pulmonary and vascular maintenance and prevention programs
have a dual orientation. The first is to help program graduates
continue to practice and expand their healthier lifestyles. The
second is to teach heart healthy living practices to those who have
not experienced a cardiac episode but who are at increased risk
of heart disease.
Programs begin with an assessment of your overall well-being and
your goals for maintaining or improving your health. Staff then
prescribes a personalized program to help you achieve your goals.
Programs typically include more rigorous and less structured exercise
than your formal rehabilitation programs, but often include heart
rate monitoring and health education.
