Unlike other cardiac rehabilitation programs, the one offered by THE HEART CLINIC is at NO EXTRA CHARGE to the patient. The program provides patients with the necessary education and a home-based exercise prescription. It utilizes various technologies to monitor new progress and communicate with the patients over the six-month period of the program.

Patients who should be referred to the program are those who have cardiac risk factors such as hypertension, abnormal cholesterol, family history of cardiac diseases, smokers or people with diabetes. Others that could benefit for primary prevention includes sedentary lifestyle and obese patients.

The program is indicated in patients who have documented CAD, previous MI or cardiac intervention such as coronary bypass or stent deployment.

Other patients that could benefit from the program are patients who have dysrhythmia, valvular diseases or surgery and with peripheral vascular disease. In addition, patients who had a TIA or a non-disabling stroke.
