Cardiac Rehabilitation Helps Fight Heart Disease

USC Arcadia Hospital offers cardiac rehabilitation after surgery while patients are still hospitalized. In this proven heart health program, participants work under the supervision of medical professionals with the long term goal of improving physical fitness and developing healthy habits to reduce the risk of heart disease and benefit their overall well-being over time.

Heart disease may be one of the world's most prevalent killers, but lifestyle changes can offer improvements in your overall health. While highly beneficial and potentially lifesaving, surgery is not a long-term solution for heart disease. Without working to change diet and exercise habits, there is nothing to stop your cardiovascular system from weakening again and causing more damage.

You should discuss cardiac rehab with your primary care provider or cardiologist if you have:

• Ever had a heart attack

• Have been diagnosed with a heart condition

• Undergone cardiac surgery

• If you have a cardiac stent
