Heart care services

Our combination of local and extended services can help you deal with, even overcome, heart problems.

Cardiac rehabilitation
We work with people living with heart disease and its results, such as heart attack or chest pain. They may be recovering from procedures like angioplasty, coronary artery bypass or valve replacement. 

We look at each person’s health risks as we personalize a plan to help prevent future problems. A main part of this plan is reconditioning the heart through a three-phase exercise program:

• Phase 1 begins in the hospital when one is recovering from angina, a heart attack or heart surgery. It emphasizes a gradual increase in the amount and type of exercise.
·
• Phase 2 generally lasts four to 12 weeks after one leaves the hospital. This program combines medical supervision with EKG heart monitoring as you exercise at the River Falls Area Hospital Wellness and Fitness Center. 
·
• Phase 3 supports heart health throughout the rest your life through diet, exercise and stress management.
