The cardiac rehab program is medically supervised and individually designed to enhance your quality of life to help you return and maintain your best possible physical and emotional condition.
A supervised cardiac rehabilitation program includes exercise, lifestyle changes, education and emotional support for people who have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, or other heart problems. Programs are medically supervised and individually designed to enhance your quality of life to help you return and maintain your best possible physical and emotional condition.
You may start a cardiac rehab program while you are still in the hospital, soon after leaving the hospital or at any other time to help prevent heart problems. Your doctor will give you an exercise prescription that gives you and your cardiac rehab team guidelines for the frequency, duration and intensity of exercise.
Cardiac rehab has four phases; your doctor will determine which phase is best for you to start your program.
Phase 1 takes place in the hospital after you have experienced a heart attack or other major heart problem.
The remaining three phases of your cardiac rehab take place at our cardiac rehabilitation outpatient clinic located on the INTEGRIS Health Edmond campus. This state-of-the-art exercise facility, coupled with our team of trained professionals, will help you meet your health goals. The healthier lifestyle you've learned including eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and not smoking–can become a way of life.
