Who Needs Cardiac Rehabilitation?

Many people with heart problems can benefit from cardiac rehab. Rehab may help people who have had:

• A heart attack
• Angioplasty (AN-jee-oh-plas-tee) or coronary artery bypass grafting for coronary artery disease
• Heart valve repair or replacement
• A heart transplant or a lung transplant
• Stable angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh)
• Heart failure

People of all ages can benefit from cardiac rehab. It’s equally helpful to both men and women. Cardiac rehab can improve your overall health and prevent future heart problems and even death.
