Cardiac Rehab

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a very comprehensive program that can be found in many clinical hospital settings to help those who are at risk or may have already had a cardiac event. Most cardiac rehab programs will target control of cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, stress, nutrition, weight loss, stopping smoking, as well as integrating exercise.
