Yes ... yes ... yes! My "bossy" wonderful nurses at Saint Joe's Orange County did wonders for me. Do NOT miss the opportunity with whomever you may work with. Cardio rehab is the best!!
Don you Don. I'm going to give it a go. I'm sure there will be nothing but benefits to come from this experience.

I had 36 sessions of cardiac rehab after a succession mitral valve repair. I strongly recommend you do cardiac rehab. I was carefully monitored and experienced a significant improvement in strength, stamina and well being. In addition, the social interaction with other heart patients was very Important to my recovery.
Thank you Maria. All of the benefits you've mentioned are why I am going to give it a go. So much to gain and really nothing to lose.

Definitely YES! I was exercising regularly before my surgery and intended to go back to doing so as soon as the Doc would let me. He would not release me however until I did the cardiac rehab. Turns out that was extremely important. Since I had to wear a monitor... Read more.

Gerry, thank you so much for sharing you experience. You brought up a great point which is that by doing so, you may alert yourself to something that would otherwise have gone undetected had I not had the rehab.
