Cardiac Rehabilitation

THE HEART HOSPITAL Baylor Plano features on-site cardiac rehabilitation to help you recover from your cardiovascular condition. The rehabilitation team works closely with each guest in a telemetry-monitored environment to monitor exercise sessions to help strengthen heart muscles gradually and safely. Guests are able to build the confidence they need to return to a normal life.

We also offer lifestyle education to help you better understand your heart condition and help you learn ways to possibly prevent future problems by using stress-reduction techniques and improving your nutrition.

• Strengthening and conditioning of your heart and lungs

• Understanding your medications, the signs and symptoms of heart disease and when to seek medical attention

• Quicker return to work and activities of daily living
• Developing coping and stress reduction skills, as well as relaxation techniques
