Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation

At Coosa Valley Medical Center, our Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs are dedicated to assisting patients in improving their heart and lung health following events such as heart attacks, heart failure, angioplasty, heart surgery, or chronic respiratory conditions. Our comprehensive, medically supervised programs are tailored to enhance cardiovascular and pulmonary health, aiming to reduce symptoms, increase physical fitness, and improve overall quality of life.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured program designed to improve cardiovascular health for individuals recovering from heart-related conditions. The program encompasses three essential components:

  1. Exercise Training: Customized exercise routines to strengthen the heart and improve endurance.
  2. Education: Information on heart-healthy living, including nutrition guidance and lifestyle modifications.
  3. Counseling: Support to reduce stress and address emotional health concerns.

Participation in cardiac rehabilitation has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality by 25% and readmission rates by 20%, while also enhancing quality of life and functional capacity.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Our pulmonary rehabilitation program is designed for patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, or those recovering from lung surgery. The program includes:

  1. Exercise Training: Activities to improve lung function and overall fitness.
  2. Breathing Techniques: Instruction on methods to manage shortness of breath.
  3. Education: Guidance on managing lung conditions and optimizing respiratory health.
  4. Nutritional Counseling: Advice on diet to support lung health.
  5. Emotional Support: Resources to help cope with the psychological aspects of chronic lung diseases.

Pulmonary rehabilitation has been shown to improve exercise capacity, health-related quality of life, and reduce the risk of hospital readmission for patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
