Our Objectives

Your body will be able to do more work without increasing the oxygen required by your heart.

Blood Pressure

If you have high blood pressure, physical reconditioning may help lower your blood pressure to near normal.

Heart Rate

Your heart respiratory rate will be slower at rest and during exercise. This makes the activities of daily life easier and more comfortable.

Other objectives may include:

Detection and control of irregular heart beats
Detection and control of post hospital (late) complications
Adjustment of your medication(s) to the optimum effectiveness
Lowering your cholesterol level
Management of weight loss
Education for you and your family regarding the nature of disease and contributing risk factors
