Cardiac Rehabilitation

1. Personalized Exercise Programs

Our experienced physiotherapists and exercise professionals design individualized exercise programs to improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and overall well-being. These programs are tailored to each patient's unique needs and medical condition.

2. Educational Workshops

Education is a key component of our approach to empower patients with knowledge. We conduct informative workshops covering various topics, including heart disease, medication management, and strategies for maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle.

3. Emotional Support and Referral to Counselling

Recognizing the emotional aspects of recovery, our team strives to provide psychological support and open the communication channels with mental health services if needed. Managing stress, anxiety, and depression is integral to overall cardiovascular well-being.

4. Nutritional Education

Our dietitians provide expert guidance on heart-healthy nutrition and help you understand how to plan balanced meals to address factors such as diabetes, cholesterol management, blood pressure control, and weight management.

We are a small, dedicated team of caring Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist Nurses, Physiotherapists, Exercise Professionals and Cardiac Rehabilitation Assistants.

Moreover, we liaise with other specialists like Specialist Dieticians, Pharmacists, and Mental Health Practitioners to better support heart healthy lifestyles.

Cardiac Rehabilitation is for anyone who has had a heart event and wishes to create lifelong heart healthy habits.

Some examples are:

• Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Primary or elective angioplasty (stent)
• Heart surgery, such as bypass (CABG), valve surgery or aortic root repair
• Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
• Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)
• Heart failure (HF)
• Transcatheter valve replacement
• Heart transplant
• Other congenital heart surgery.

Our team welcomes all ages, abilities, gender, ethnicities, and health backgrounds.

We will work with you to develop a suitable rehabilitation programme.

If you have a concern about the care that you have received at Nottingham University Hospitals, it is best to try to sort it out straight away. We work hard to give the highest standards of care but sometimes things can go wrong. If this happens, we do all that we can to put things right for you as quickly as possible and do our best to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again.
