Cardiac fitness is an extension of the cardiac rehabilitation program and emphasizes long-term exercise in a monitored environment for a heart-healthy lifestyle. This phase emphasizes independence with quarterly monitoring sessions that assess heart rate, blood pressure and program revisions. Patients benefit from the emotional support of the staff and other participants who have had similar experiences. Candidates for the cardiac fitness program include individuals needing reconditioning, weight management or assistance with the control of diabetes, cholesterol or hypertension. Physician referral is required.
