Doctor checkup

80-90% of people suffering from Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) have one or more major risk factors influenced by lifestyle. Lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure are among the major risk factors for CHD.

Many people find making significant lifestyle changes can be difficult. For example, people may be addicted to nicotine; and if someone recently been admitted to the hospital with CHD need to increase the amount of physical activity they undertake regularly, not only do they need to be well motivated but they and their families need to be confident that the exercise is safe.

Cardiac rehabilitation can promote recovery, enable patients to achieve and maintain better health, and most importantly reduce the risk of death in people who have heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation also reduces the risk of hospital admissions at least in the first 12 months following a heart event.
