Did you know one of the biggest myths we hear is that exercise is unsafe for heart disease patients? That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Exercise is actually extremely important for patients with heart disease. After certain heart attacks or cardiovascular surgeries, many patients are enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation—a supervised exercise program designed specifically to strengthen the heart safely.
Think of it like physical therapy for your heart. Just as rehab helps strengthen a knee or shoulder after an injury, cardiac rehab helps your heart safely work harder, recover efficiently, and become stronger over time.
These structured programs have been shown to:
• Improve recovery
• Reduce hospital readmissions
• Lower the risk of heart failure
• Improve long-term survival
The key is guidance and supervision—pushing the heart in a controlled, safe environment so it can adapt and grow stronger.
If you have heart disease and aren’t sure how or when to exercise, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to guide you every step of the way. 💙
