Cardiac rehabilitation

Cardiac physiotherapy is a field of physiotherapy that involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system. Patients with heart disease are diagnosed by a rehabilitation physician, who establishes an individualized treatment and rehabilitation plan. Physiotherapists specializing in cardiology carry out the rehabilitation plan using physical exercises, physical treatments and patient education to restore cardiovascular function, improve blood circulation and increase the patient’s physical fitness. Cardiac physiotherapy also aims to reduce the risk of complications and prevent recurrence of heart disease.
