Cardiac Rehabilitation
An extremely effective, yet simple prescription to treat heart disease is exercise. Our cardiac rehabilitation program is managed by Dr. Museitif and Dr. Kreager along with specially trained registered nurses who provide individualized consultations and medically supervised workouts to start you on a path to improved health.
Cardiac rehab at Edgerton:
- It works. According to a study by Mayo Clinic, cardiac rehab raises your likelihood of surviving at least three years after a heart attack by more than 50 percent.
- It motivates. Our staff will help you set ambitious, yet achievable goals. They’ll monitor your progress in one-on-one meetings and continue to adapt the program to meet your changing needs. You can exercise on your own or in a group setting for added motivation.
- It’s comprehensive. In addition to exercise, our cardiac rehab program offers education on heart disease prevention and healthy lifestyle changes, with access to a support network of peers and medical professionals.
- It pays off. A commitment of three to four hours each week will result in reduced symptoms, improved stamina, an enhanced quality of life and the ability to return to work and leisure activities.
