For anyone on this forum who are either struggling to make the changes recommended post heart attack, or are just wondering if these changes are really necessary, here's a link to a new report about some research carried out by the American Heart Association , which suggests quite conclusively that making all the recommended changes really does make a huge difference.

Cardio Rehab was a life saver for me, the support from the nurses and others that attended was 5⭐It helped me come to terms with what had happened to me. I wouldn't have made the recovery I have with out it.

I have been to cardio rehab twice now once after bypass surgery and again after having a couple of stents through a bypassed artery. The staff are very knowledgeable mine picked up on I wasn't performing as I should and immediately referred me to the Heart Clinic. The Heart Nurse referred me to the Heart Failure Cardiologist and it's been a journey ever since.!!!

I suppose what I am saying is you can trust the rehab team they know what they are doing, and more importantly know what they are looking for.

Hip Hip Hooray for Cardiac Rehab.

Just like to add the Stents was a Repair not because I didn't follow the rehab advice.

Can’t praise my cardio rehab enough, after HOS helped me get my stamina back and my self confidence. Mixing with other people who have had similar experiences was great gave me the confidence to believe my heart was mended. Now getting on with my life, and thankful every day to the NHS Doctor’s and Nurses.

Not what you're looking for?
