Integral Approach
Exercise + Education + Safety
What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation is a supervised medical program which combines controlled exercise, education and follow-up to help you recover your physical condition and reduce risks, according to your diagnosis and evolution.
It's not just “going to the gym”. It is guided heart recovery with direct medical supervision.
For whom is it indicated?
This program is ideal if:
- You had a heart attack recently or months ago.
- You had a stent placed (angioplasty).
- You had heart surgery (bypass, valves).
- You live with stable heart failure or coronary artery disease.
- You are at high cardiovascular risk and want to prevent.
- You want to get back to physical activity, but you have fear or uncertainty.
What does the program include?
Initial Evaluation
Definition of capacity, symptoms and safety objectives.
Supervised Exercise
Gradual progression of intensity under monitoring.
Practical Education
Learn about medications, blood pressure and habits.
Follow-up
Medical adjustments according to your clinical response.
How does it work?
-
Initial Cardiological Assessment
In-depth medical history, physical examination and detailed review of your previous studies to stratify your cardiovascular risk.
-
Customized Plan
Intensity, frequency and realistic goals are defined specifically for your heart. There are no generic prescriptions: the entire plan is individualized.
-
Supervised Sessions
You perform the exercise with continuous monitoring of vital signs. If anything changes, the program is adjusted immediately.
-
Monitoring and Autonomy
Medical treatment adjustments, continuing education and recommendations so that you can eventually exercise safely on your own.
Safety: The most important thing
Cardiac rehabilitation is not "exercising on your own". It is a supervised clinical process that seeks to advance you gradually and safely, while strictly respecting your diagnosis, your medications and your symptoms.
What can you expect?
Recover capacity for daily activities (walking, climbing stairs, working).
Understanding your condition and recognize your real warning signs vs. fear.
Resuming physical activity with a clear plan and an established routine.
Feeling accompanied throughout your recovery process.
