A healthy lifestyle helps maintain a healthy heart. That is why Banner Estrella offers a hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program to help patients with heart conditions live healthier lives. A  cardiac rehabilitation specialist will tailor an individual exercise and diet program to meet each patient’s needs. The goal is to improve each patient’s heart performance through exercise, a healthy diet, stress reduction and education.

For surgical patients, cardiac rehabilitation begins in the hospital with low level, progressive physical activity. The patient and their family will learn about heart disease and how to manage the patient’s care after he or she is discharged from the hospital.
