Cardiac Rehabilitation

What Is Cardiac Rehabilitation?

Cardiac Rehabilitation is an individualized and personalized treatment plan, including evaluation and instruction on physical activity, nutrition, stress management and other health related areas. 

Cardiac Rehabilitation is an important part of the treatment of your specific heart problem. If you have one of the following diagnoses, you may be eligible to participate:

• Heart Attack
• Angina
• Coronary artery angioplasty or stents
• Open heart surgery such as coronary bypass or valve surgery
• Heart failure

Cardiac Rehabilitation is generally covered by most health insurance companies but check your plan to determine co-pays or other requirements. Contact Pomerene Cardiac Rehabilitation at (330) 432-0468 to obtain self-pay package pricing.
