Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiovascular diseases are increasing at an alarming rate, and their effects are deteriorating. This is due to the sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy food habits that we have accepted to be the norm. Cardiac rehabilitation is an outpatient program targeted at improving heart health and cardiovascular efficiency. It offers both physical and psychological benefits and also speeds up the recovery process.
At Dharma Vira Heart center, we have a dedicated team of healthcare professionals that work together to improve your quality of life. From physiotherapists to nutritionists, all working under the guidance of your cardiologist.
We help the patient with exercise training, stress management, nutrition, weight loss, smoking cessation, cholesterol control, diabetes management, and blood pressure management.
What we treat
Hypertension: Commonly called high blood pressure is a chronic condition caused by the high force of blood in the artery walls. Hypertension leads to serious complications such as heart failure, heart attack, and stroke.
High cholesterol: A condition that arises when levels of cholesterol in the blood are high enough to give rise to heart problems such as heart attack and stroke.
Coronary artery disease: Cholesterol can deposit in the coronary arteries in the form of plaque, with plaque buildup the arteries become narrow, thereby decreasing oxygen supply and blood flow to the heart. A complete blockage may result in heart failure.
Myocardial Infarction: Commonly known as a heart attack. When the heart is devoid of oxygen supply and blood flow cardiac ischemia occurs, the heart is rendered unable to pump blood properly. If cardiac ischemia lasts for too long a heart attack occurs. The most common symptom of a heart attack is increasing chest pain.
