About Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation
Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation uses supervised exercise, breathing techniques and education to help people recover after heart attack, heart surgery or with chronic lung disease.
It lowers breathlessness, improves stamina and reduces readmissions. Programmes are tailored and monitored, so start only after medical clearance.
This page is general information, not medical advice. Fees, availability and outcomes vary by doctor and hospital.
