Cardiac Rehab

Whether you have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, angioplasty, heart transplant or valve replacement, or have angina, congestive heart failure (CHF), a left ventricular assist device (LVADs), pacemaker or defibrillator placement, stent placement or any other cardiac-related condition, you may benefit from the cardiac rehabilitation program at Memorial Hermann.

Our goal is to help people with heart disease participate actively and confidently in their own recovery so they can return, as much as possible, to the life they enjoyed before heart disease.

The cardiac rehabilitation program is a phased, multidimensional, medically supervised program designed to help patients recover as quickly as possible from heart disease. With a comprehensive focus on exercise, education and lifestyle change, the program is designed to improve overall physical and mental functioning. Patients who participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program following heart surgery or a diagnosis of heart or vascular disease tend to have better outcomes in managing their condition.

The cardiac rehabilitation program has been granted full certification by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).

*Physician referral is required for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation.
