Am I a candidate for Cardiac Prehab?

We’re excited that you’re starting to see more in doctor’s offices and media about the new program! Many are asking this exact question so here goes. If you have one or more of the following risk factors you are a candidate: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, more than 20lbs overweight, high stress, smoker, sedentary lifestyle. One risk factor is low risk, two is moderate and three or more is higher risk for heart disease. Cardiac Prehab is a program we developed for people who have risk factors, but have not had a heart attack. If you have risk factors and take medication, it does not mean you are not at risk, it means you are taking a pill to manage your risk.

It also helps if you and your doctor are the kind of people interested in limiting your prescriptions with lifestyle changes. Cardiac Rehab is designed to retrain and guide people after a heart attack, but good grief, you shouldn't have to wait until then! We work with your doctor to treat the cause of the issue, while they treat the symptoms with a pill. Cardiac Prehab is based on the long-standing, medically supported model for cardiac rehab that patients attend after having a heart attack. We also offer concierge outpatient cardiac rehab in a cheerful and covid friendly environment and we are open for immediate admissions.
