does anyone have exercise program handouts for cardiac patients in a rehabilitation unit?

There should be someone at the rehab hospital specialized in patient education that would have loads of handouts / information for patients. Talk to the nurses or doctors at the hospital or call the administration to find out the contact information for this person / department. \nAs for other resources, consult with your local health department. Chances are that there is a cardiovascular program in place there and that the program has a lot of focus on exercise / wellness. \nAn exercise expert / personal trainer would also be another way to go. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

This happened to me last December.  I wound up in ICU.  What to do about my disabled/non-driver husband, the house, getting around etc.  The Hospital I was in sent a Case Manager (an RN with Social Services training etc) to visit me in.  She really helped.  I could not believe the amount of available services in my area.  There are Catholic Charities, Jewish Chariles, Lutheran Charities,  none of whom care what (or if) your religion is.  There is a low/no fee medical or seniors transportation service.  The list went on and on.  If you have the $ or not, services are available.   Hopefully,  so are REAL friends!!

Call Meriter Hospital 267-6000. Maybe they do it, or have connections to a lab that does.

Have you asked your cardiologist what he or she suggests? The water aerobics thing is a good form of exercise but what was to happen if you passed out...in the pool?! Good luck to you!

I work for a college that offers lots of medical training nursing, ems, etc.  All of our students have to have CPR training before entering the program.  We have over 2,000 new students a semester that need this!!  \nSo contact local colleges that train nurses, etc...also local amublance companies because they are constantly having to renew their CPR.  Make flyers and get it out there.\n\nHospital tend to do it themselves but it doesn't hurt asking...even small Dr's offices.

many forms of exercise have benifits in helping those with Coranary artery disease, such as walking, swimming, bike riding, or other forms of aerobic activity. Strength training such as lifting weights or calithetics can also provide benifits though not as "heart spacific" as aerobic exercise.  If you have CAD or any reason to think you may, check with your doctor to see what your limits might be or the best exercise for you as an individual. No exercise alone can prevent or reverse coranary artery disease there are too many other factors involved, but it can help many people live a longer, better life.  Make sure you check with a medical professional regarding your health condition and any exercise paln you might decide to try!!

You have to go to a medical institution that needs this kind of help and ask them how to set yourself up to do this for them. They will have a way to do this and will setup the program for you. Don't go online searching for this as you will only get the scammers that want to charge you for lists of places that "might" need your services.
