A cardiac rehabilitation team is usually made up of professionals with specialized areas of expertise who work together to improve your physical and emotional health. Rehabilitation programs vary depending on participant needs and residential location.

The team may include a physician, clinical exercise physiologist, nurse, occupational therapist, physical educator, dietitian, psychiatrist or psychologist, physiotherapist and social worker.
Programs vary, but they generally include:
• Medical assessment evaluating your physical abilities, limitations and risk factors.
• Physical activity exercises to improve your cardiovascular and muscular fitness.
• Lifestyle education includes expert advice about nutrition, medication, and heart health.
• Psychosocial support strategies for managing depression, stress, anxiety and returning to work.
Cardiac rehabilitation will help participants regain their strength and independence, and overcome their anxieties and fears. Participants learn how to make heart-healthy living a part of their life - for the rest of their life. Participants meet a support group of professionals and people dealing with the same challenges they face each day.
