Cardiac Rehabilitation

The Cardiac Rehabilitation program at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center is designed to help people with cardiac conditions, coronary artery disease or recent heart attacks recover quickly and achieve optimal levels of physical, mental and social functioning. Structured exercise programs are designed to meet each person's special lifestyle needs and exercise goals. A comprehensive education component covers all the risk factors for heart disease and aspects of disease management.

Cardiac rehabilitation is recommended if your medical history includes:

  • Heart attack
  • Angioplasty or stent procedure
  • Coronary artery bypass surgery
  • Heart valve surgery
  • Heart transplant surgery
  • Chronic chest pain (angina)
  • Peripheral arterial disease
  • Risk factors for coronary artery disease

Our dedicated and professional staff offers both Phase II (cardiac-monitored) and Phase III (maintenance) programs. Phase II may be covered by your insurance.

A doctor's prescription is required for cardiac rehabilitation. Our staff will work with you and your doctor to determine a program for your needs.
