For patients with heart or lung disease, improving health can be a daunting task. Worrying about future health can be stressful too. At Kadlec, our Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation program is designed to assist those patients with cardiac or pulmonary disorders to resume productive lives and make a lifelong commitment to exercise and better health. The cardiac program consists of four components: medical, exercise, education and psychological. Patients follow carefully planned, individualized programs. Pulmonary rehabilitation is for people with chronic lung disease, such as emphysema, asthma or chronic bronchitis. It is designed to help manage the condition through exercise and education. Participants regain their confidence in their own abilities and feel improvement in their overall quality of life.
