"Cardio Rehab Classes"

I had my first heart attack 1995. Back in 1995 Stent technology was not available, so to fix my two blocked atteries I had angioplasty ( ballooning the artery open ). Over the period 1995 until 2018 I have subsequently had six stents fitted.  Thanks to the skill of the medical  staff and advances in diagnostic and stent technology I am very fortunate to live a normal life.

One of the import factors in achieving your best personal  health result after receiving

heart surgery is rehabilition. This does not mean just taking it easy, it involves  pushing yourself to gain your best possible health outcome.  Initially this should be done under medical supervision

Cardio Rehab Classes are the ideal process to gain two important aids to your recovery from heart surgery. The controlled and monitored physical exercise will help you gain renewed confidence in your hearts ability to take pressure.  Another very important aid is the sharing of experiance of heart problems with fellow suffers,  this helps you understand and share worries and feelings  with other people that have all had similar heart experiance.

I personally must thank the Cardio Rehab  staff at Hairmyres hospital who were excellent. Their 16 session of physical exercise and lectures on the Heart were so down to earth. This provided everyone with a greater  understand of the mechanics and side effects following heart surgery. I would encourage all those affected by heart surgery to get enrolled and enjoy the benefits gain from the classes.
