Cardiac Rehabilitation

The Carson Tahoe Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is the first American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation-certified program in Northern Nevada.

An Innovative Approach

Most of us long for a place where camaraderie and continuous support are commonplace, often this need becomes more defined following a health setback. The staff of the Carson Tahoe Cardiac Rehab Program understands your concerns. And because of this, our program has been designed to help you regain confidence in your health.

Our cardiac rehab program offers a three-month course of educational opportunities, monitored exercises and support. By attending the classes and exercise sessions, you will learn how to take control of your health and get back to the quality of life you’ve been craving. Additionally,we offer a supervised training program for people with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). PAD is the result of atherosclerosis (artery disease) that can cause blockages in blood vessels throughout the body. Clinical practice guidelines and performance measures for adults with PAD stress the importance of supervised exercise to improve functional capacity, decrease symptoms, and reduce risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Education

Our cardiac rehab program offers educational opportunities every step of the way. We believe the more knowledge you have, the better able you will be to make the changes that will lead you to a healthy lifestyle. For this reason, patients enrolled in our program learn about risk factors that affect their heart such as obesity, diabetes, smoking, high stress levels, hypertension, abnormal cholesterol lipid values and family health history. To help you adopt a new and healthier lifestyle, classes and information are provided on nutrition, exercise and stress management.

Reaching Goals

Improving cardiac fitness and endurance is the primary goal to bettering your overall health. Our professional staff will show you how to exercise safely based on your personal fitness level. The program’s flexibility allows you to reach your goals safely and effectively. During your exercise session, you will be continuously monitored. Our staff will note progress made in order to ensure that your goals are met.

Whether you have had a heart attack, stable angina, coronary artery disease, bypass surgery or balloon angioplasty, cardiac rehabilitation may be the opportunity you have been searching for to take control of your health.
