Cardio-Pulmonary rehabilitation

For patients diagnosed with heart or lung disease, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation helps patients understand and manage their health problems so they can live longer and do more.

HEART ATTACK

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

HEART SURGERY

Open-heart surgery is any type of surgery where the chest is cut open and surgery is performed on the muscles, valves, or

arteries of the heart.

HEART DISEASE

Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease

TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

You may return to work after two to three months after the transplant surgery. It generally takes three to six months to fully recover from heart transplant surgery. However, age and previous medical history problems may cause the recovery period to take longer.

OBESITY

Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It is a medical problem that increases your risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

ASTHMA

Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

CHRONIC BRONCHIATIS

The inflamed bronchial tubes produce a lot of mucus. This leads to coughing and difficulty breathing.

EMPHYSEMA

Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged.

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production.

ANGINA

Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is chest pain or pressure, usually due to not enough blood flow to the heart muscle.

CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Coronary artery disease is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits (called plaques) on the inner walls of the arteries.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. The body produces thick and sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas.

INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an umbrella term for a large group of disorders that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs. The scarring causes stiffness in the lungs which makes it difficult to breathe.

CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS

A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart.

NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE

These disorders can cause your muscles to become weak and waste away. You may also have symptoms such as spasms, twitching, and pain.
