Cardiac Rehab
Cardiac rehabilitation, also called cardiac rehab, is an Outpatient Program that is aimed to help patients improve their health condition and recover faster from a heart attack, other forms of heart disease or surgery to treat heart disease.
At Olive Health Care And Diagnostics, we create a customized cardiac rehab program that involves exercise training, emotional support and a bit of support about lifestyle changes to help reduce your heart disease risk.
