Worrying Stats Reveal Nearly Half of Heart Attack Survivors in UK Don’t Get Rehab
A recent analysis of the cardiac rehabilitation programme in the UK showed that nearly half of all eligible heart attack survivors were not partaking in any rehabilitation following their cardiac episodes.
The outstanding benefits of both cardiovascular and strength training have long been established in medical literature in helping to improve quality of life and prevent further episodes.
It is a worrying statistic for an ageing population, but certainly one that is easy to change. Returning to exercise can be scary following any cardiac episode, which is why finding the right advice and guidance is so helpful.
A structured program with heart rate, fatigue, and blood pressure monitoring, as well as coordinating your progress with your cardiologist/GP is recommended.
