Your Medically Supervised Journey to a Stronger, Healthier Heart

Surviving a heart attack, undergoing bypass surgery, or having a stent placed is a life-altering experience that can leave you feeling vulnerable and uncertain about the future. It's common to feel anxious about physical activity and unsure of what your body is capable of. The most important question becomes: "What now?"

The answer is Cardiac Rehabilitation. At apricot Care in Pune, we offer a comprehensive, medically supervised program that is the single most important step you can take to not just recover from your cardiac event, but to build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient future. Our program is a partnership designed to help you regain your strength, reduce your risk of future heart problems, and restore your confidence in your body.

Key Components of Your Cardiac Rehabilitation

Our program is built on the three pillars of modern cardiac care, addressing your physical, educational, and emotional needs.

  • Medically Supervised Exercise: Personalized, ECG-monitored exercise to safely improve your heart's strength.
  • Heart-Healthy Lifestyle Education: Expert guidance on nutrition, medication, and managing risk factors.
  • Stress Management & Counseling: Support for managing the emotional impact of a cardiac event.
  • Risk Factor Modification: Proactive strategies to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes.
  • Personalized Goal Setting: A customized plan to help you safely return to work and daily activities.
  • Continuous Vitals Monitoring: Ensuring your utmost safety during every moment of every session.

What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a customized outpatient program of exercise and education. It is not just "going to the gym." It is a prescribed, centeral service designed to improve your cardiovascular health under the watchful eye of a dedicated medical team.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality in India, but the good news is that they are largely preventable and manageable. Research overwhelmingly shows that patients who complete a cardiac rehab program can reduce their risk of dying from a future cardiac event by up to 40%. Our program is your structured path to achieving that protection.

Who is a Candidate for Cardiac Rehabilitation?

Our program in Pune is designed for individuals who have experienced:

  • Early Stages:A recent heart attack (Myocardial Infarction)
  • Heart surgery (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting - CABG, Valve Replacement)
  • A heart procedure (Angioplasty, Stenting)
  • Stable Angina (chest pain)
  • Heart Failure

The Three Pillars of Our Cardiac Rehab Program

Our comprehensive program integrates the three essential components of world-class cardiac care.

1

Medically Supervised Exercise Training

This is the heart of the program. We help you rebuild your physical strength safely.

  • Initial Assessment: We begin with a thorough fitness assessment to determine a safe and effective starting point for you.
  • Continuous Monitoring: During every session, you will be connected to an ECG monitor that tracks your heart's electrical activity in real-time. Our therapists continuously monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels to ensure you are exercising safely and effectively, without undue strain on your heart.
  • Progressive Exercise Plan: Your personalized plan will include a mix of aerobic exercise (like on a treadmill or stationary bike) and light resistance training. We gradually increase the duration and intensity as your heart becomes stronger.

Counseling and Stress Management

Recovering from a heart event is an emotional journey as well as a physical one. Feeling anxious or depressed is very normal.

  • Stress Management: Our [psychologists](<-Internal Link) and therapists teach you practical techniques for managing stress, such as deep breathing and mindfulness, which have a direct positive impact on heart health.
  • Emotional Support: We provide a safe space to discuss your fears and anxieties, helping you cope with the emotional side of recovery and build a positive outlook for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

My doctor told me to take it easy. Is it really safe to exercise after a heart attack?

This is the most common and important question. Yes, it is not only safe, but it is essential when done in the correct environment. The key is that it must be medically supervised. We start very slowly and monitor your heart's response to every increase in activity. This controlled approach is the safest and most effective way to strengthen your heart muscle and improve its function.

How is this different from just joining my local gym?

The difference is safety and expertise. A gym does not have the medical equipment (like ECG monitors) or the centerally trained staff to safely guide an exercise program for someone with a heart condition. Cardiac rehab is a prescribed medical service where the exercise is tailored to your specific heart condition and limitations, with constant monitoring to ensure your safety.

What happens during a typical cardiac rehab session?

A typical session starts with a warm-up. You will then perform your prescribed aerobic and strengthening exercises while connected to our monitoring equipment. Our therapists will be with you, checking your vitals and guiding your effort level. The session concludes with a cool-down period. Many sessions also include an educational component.

Will my health insurance cover cardiac rehabilitation?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a recognized medical service that is covered by most major health insurance policies in India, especially after a qualifying event like a heart attack or bypass surgery. We can assist you with the necessary documentation for your insurance provider.
