Cardiovascular Institute

Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation

For patients who are recovering from a heart condition, Saint Agnes offers a broad strategy to better health through the connected disciplines of exercise, modified diet and health education.

Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation Program

Our Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation (COR) Program combines cardiac education with supervised exercise for patients with various forms of heart disease, along with those recovering from cardiac surgery. Working with COR staff members who include a cardiologist, cardiac nurse specialists and exercise technologists, participants exercise in a safe, monitored setting. In doing so, they accelerate their recovery and gain the confidence they need to resume a normal and active lifestyle.

Lipid Management Program

The Lipid Management Program brings together a multidisciplinary team of specialists to help people better control their cholesterol.
Depending on your health status, your physician may advise you to do some or all of the following:

  • Lose Weight.
  • Switch to a low-fat diet.
  • Significantly increase your activity level.
  • Quit smoking.
  • Take cholesterol-lowering medicine.

These changes are sometimes difficult on your own. Through our coordinated efforts, we can help you succeed.

For more information on rehabilitation services, please call 410-368-2246.
