 Center
for Cardiac Fitness
The Cardiac Fitness Center is a state-of-the-art facility accredited
by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
Our goal is to provide the correct balance of exercise, nutrition,
stress management, education and individual support services to
help patients incorporate heart healthy habits into their everyday
lives. Programs include the Outpatient
Pulmonary Health and Rehabilitation Program.
- Women's Cardiac Center
The Miriam Hospital has established a center for cardiac care
specifically for women. A major difference between men and women
with cardiac disease is that women develop symptoms at a later
age than men do and also tend to have atypical symptoms. Women's
heart disease is often more advanced when it is diagnosed and
also is often treated less aggressively than men's. The first
program of its kind in Rhode Island, the Women's Cardiac Center
is led by a female cardiologist with more than 25 years of experience.
