Cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation
What is cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation?
Cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation are specialized programs aimed at improving the health of patients with heart and lung diseases.
These rehabilitation programs involve a combination of exercise, education and counseling to improve overall fitness and reduce the risk of complications.
Cardiovascular rehabilitation targets patients with conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, and coronary artery disease, while respiratory rehabilitation targets patients with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis.
These programs may include physical exercises, breathing techniques, dietary counseling, stress management and smoking cessation programs, with the goal of improving overall quality of life and reducing symptoms in these patients.
