The HEART Program is a cardiac rehabilitation program for home use. It is a set of 4 videos along with a 12-page Quick Reference Guide to help cardiac patients safely rehabilitate after their coronary event.

Traditional cardiac rehabilitation usually consists of exercise sessions at a rehab center 3 times a week for a period of 12 weeks.

The HEART Program's 3, 45-minute exercise videos gently guide you through a similar 12-week time frame, including 2 levels of exercise on each of the 3 videos. We recommend using one of the exercise tapes 4-5 times each week.

When traditional cardiac rehabilitation ends, you are expected to continue exercising on your own. With The HEART Program, you start with a program that is both convenient and easy to follow, continuing to use the same program at the level you need for years to come.

Using your target heart rate range established by your doctor, and guidance provided in the exercise sessions regarding perceived exertion, symptoms, warming up and cooling down, you can feel confident about your progress to the next level.

Patients who follow The HEART Program exercise routines 4 to 5 times a weeks can begin a dramatic recovery in just 12 weeks.

Consult your doctor for guidelines and recommendations before using The HEART Program. Factors such as your cardiovascular risk, general health concerns, and medications are a few things that should be taken into consideration. Your doctor can determine whether The HEART Program is right for you.

The HEART Program includes a 43-minute educational video, teaching patients about the different aspects of cardiovascular disease. This includes on-screen graphics, animation and easy to understand terms that can be viewed anytime you need to refresh your memory on a subject.
