Searching for cardiology continuing education courses? Look no further!
CEU360 offers a wide selection of cardiac continuing education courses for health care professionals.
Cardiac rehabilitation (cardiac rehab) is a professionally supervised program to help improve the health and wellbeing of patients who have a history of heart problems. Cardiac rehab programs usually provide exercise training, education, and counseling services to help heart patients increase physical fitness, reduce cardiac symptoms, improve health and reduce the risk of future heart problems.
Who needs cardiac rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehab is beneficial for patients of all ages with a history of:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Arrhythmia
- Angina
- Heart failure or heart attack
- History of heart surgery – coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including coronary angioplasty (balloon angioplasty) and stenting,valve replacement, pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
- Diabetes
- Hyperlipidemia/ hypercholesterolemia
- Hypertension
- Stroke
- Thrombosis
- Obesity
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Team
Cardiac rehab involves a long-term commitment from both the patient and the health care team. The cardiac rehab team may include doctors (cardiologist or surgeon), nurses, exercise specialists, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians or nutritionists, and psychologists or other mental health specialists.
Cardiac Therapists
Physical and occupational therapists (and assistants) often work with patients with a history of heart disease outside of cardiac rehab. Therefore, it is critical for the therapist to be familiar with treatment of the cardiac patient regardless of his/her clinical specialty – geriatrics, pediatrics, orthopedics, etc. The therapist must be able to select an appropriate level of activity for any individual with a history of cardiac disease.
