Cardiac
Aftercare
LifeStyle Management
offers a multi-dimensional cardiac rehabilitation program to assure
safe and progressive outcomes. Our primary goal is to achieve the
patient’s highest level of fitness through changes in diet,
exercise and stress management to decrease the progression or even reverse the cardiac disease process.
Our Phase III and Phase IV cardiac rehabilitation program is offered to individuals who have had cardiac surgery, suffer from coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or at high risk of developing one of these conditions. |
Clients work with an exercise physiologist while being monitored by telemetry. After 6-8 weeks of cardiovascular conditioning, strength training is also implemented, as well as an exercise program for the individual to work on at home or at their health club. Quarterly re-tests allow program modifications to be made and to track progress. |

Clients meet with a registered dietician to learn how to reduce risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke through heart healthy meal planning. Education includes dining out recommendations, eating behavior management, and label reading (click here for more information on medical nutrition therapy). |
