Binghamton / New York / United States
At 169 Riverside Drive, Lourdes Cardiac Rehabilitation provides a program that is a customized plan of exercise, education and counseling created to help patients with heart disease return to a normal way of life after a heart attack, coronary bypass surgery, angioplasty, stabilized angina, valve surgery or heart transplant. It is a link between hospitalization and normal living. The programs staff of specially trained Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certi?ed cardiac nurses, exercise physiologists, dieticians, and pharmacists provide a coordinated team approach to meet the needs of each patient. Based on a patients medical situation, lifestyle and abilities, an individualized program of exercise, education and counseling is established for each patient. Through exercise and education, the program will enable a patient to resume a lifestyle compatible with his or her cardiovascular ?tness level. The bene?ts of regular activity in cardiac patients are now widely recognized. The program runs between 6-12 weeks with three sessions per weeks. Each session involves warm-up, dynamic aerobic exercises, strength training, cool-down, education, and group discussions. Because cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised and monitored program prescribed by a physician, it is covered by Medicare and most medical insurance contracts.
