Cardiac
Care
Cardiac
care refers to the treatment plan for someone recovering
from a heart attack or bypass surgery or experiencing abnormal
heart rhythms or high cholesterol. Specialized cardiac care
for people with heart disease can reduce the risk of subsequent
heart attacks and death from other causes.
Types
of cardiac care are nutritional counseling, smoking cessation,
psychosocial interventions, physical activity counseling,
exercise training, and management of lipid levels, hypertension,
weight and diabetes.
Learning
to live with heart disease usually requires lifestyle modifications.
Diet considerations and exercise—combined with education
about heart disease in general and your particular condition—are
the focus of cardiac rehabilitation. Contact us about private duty nurses and nurse aides for patients needing cardiac care.
