Cardiovascular conditions can lead to significant health problems. You may find yourself unable to work and in need of
long-term disability benefits.
Health Day reports that
patients who have angioplasty and follow it up with cardiac rehabilitation have improved odds of survival.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), every year in the U.S. there are more than 600,000 individuals who undergo angioplasty, which unclogs blocked arteries. And while it can help patients it is not a cure. Therefore,
patients should take other measures to help improve their cardiovascular health.
Cardiac rehabilitation can help individuals make important lifestyle changes, have a better quality of life and live longer. It can also help to slow down the progression of heart disease or in some individuals, even reverse it.
Cardiac rehabilitation may consist of the following components:
- weight control;
- customized fitness programs;
- nutritional guidance;
- programs to help stop smoking; and
- regular medical evaluations.
Researchers found that the risk of premature death was decreased by as much as 46% for those individuals who took advantage of this additional treatment plan.
