The Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Program is the largest outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program of its kind in North America. Each year, we treat close to 1,600 people who are recovering from various forms of heart disease and/or surgery.
The program is based on a scientifically proven and medically supervised course of exercise, education and lifestyle modification aimed at providing patients with the information, motivation and support they need to adopt and maintain heart-healthy habits. The ultimate goals of the program are to limit the physiological effects of cardiac illness and to improve overall cardiovascular fitness and health.
Through clinical research, the program investigates the risk
factors associated with heart disease and seeks to improve
the delivery of service to patients and the scientific understanding
of cardiac rehabilitation.
The program is delivered by an interprofessional team of specialists including physicians, exercise physiologists, nurses, occupational therapists, physical educators, laboratory technologists and a consulting nutritionist and psychiatrist.
