Introducing Care4TodayTM Heart Health
We are here to support your recovery
Care4Today™ Heart Health is a cardiac prevention and rehabilitation programme that aims to help improve the health and wellbeing of people who have heart problems. They may have just had a heart attack, or may need or have recently had:
- angioplasty/stent
- valve surgery
- coronary artery bypass graft surgery
- other heart surgery
Cardiac rehabilitation can help you:
- Reduce your future risk of heart problems
- Improve your stamina and lessen fatigue
- Restore your confidence to resume daily life and activities
Being diagnosed with a heart condition can be a worrying time. Our Care4Today™ Heart Health cardiac prevention and rehabilitation team will help patients get back on their feet and feeling themselves again by:
- providing practical and emotional support to the patient, family and friends
- creating a personalised plan, including guidance about how best to keep active and make changes to lifestyle so the patient can recover fully and help to protect their heart from further problems.
Care4Today™ Heart Health sessions
Consultants recommend these sessions for maximum benefit to anyone who has had cardiac surgery or a cardiac event.
Active Hearts and Healthy Hearts sessions are run by cardiac specialist nurses and exercise professionals specially trained by the British Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR). Sessions are run in hospitals and also at local venues around the county.
Active Hearts sessions include guided exercise at your own pace and individual support to meet your own specific needs.
Healthy Hearts sessions give you additional support to make lifestyle changes that will help to protect your heart from future problems.
Friends and family members supporting you during your recovery are welcome to accompany you to these sessions – so they also understand what you have been through and how they can help you to make the best recovery possible.
