Program Structure Cardiac Rehab
Please Note: Cardiac Rehab is 100% telemedicine, and there are no in-person appointments.
Program
- 3 Days per Week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday): 1-hour sessions (via Zoom)
- Class times may vary based on patient skill level and availability
- Patients submit a Daily Therapy Journal each day – this allows their assigned clinician to continuously monitor their vitals even when they are not in class
Patient Onboarding
Patients have an initial Zoom consultation with their assigned clinician prior to starting 3 days/week cardiac rehab to discuss past medical history and establish a proper treatment plan. Each patient receives a starter kit prior to starting cardiac rehab that contains the necessary equipment needed to participate in class and take their vitals at home – this will contain:
- Pulse oximeter, exercise bands, pedometer
- Blood pressure cuffs
- Weight scale
- Bluetooth ECG/EKG monitor: this device will allow both patients and LTV clinicians to monitor the real-time results and collect continuous data
- Living Well with Heart Disease: Workbook (Heart Disease & Rehab, Healthy Eating, Exercise, Taking Medications, Managing Risk Factors and Emotional Health)
Program Length
Our cardiac rehab program is 12 Weeks (36 Sessions):
- During the initial assessment, patients are given a tentative graduation date based on their starting date in cardiac rehab
- Upon graduating LTV cardiac rehab, patients have an exit interview with their assigned clinician where they will discuss ways they can continue exercising and staying active
What Happens During Class?
In addition to exercise, our cardiac rehab program educates patients on proper diet and nutrition and teaches them basic stress management techniques. LTV telemedicine cardiac rehab models the same structure each class:
- Check-in (blood pressure and heart rate check)
- Warm-up
- Main exercise
- Cool down
- Check-out (blood pressure and heart rate check)
** Each patient will continue to have a monthly follow-up conference with their assigned clinician to assess their progress in cardiac rehab and establish new goals to accomplish during their time in our program
