Mission
The cardiac rehabilitation department offers a training programme for patients presenting a cardio-vascular pathology. These training sessions result in an appreciable improvement to patients’ physical capabilities, restore patients’ confidence in their ability to carry out daily activities and are an opportunity to meet other people with a similar cardiac history.
Cardiac rehabilitation programme
The programme consists of 24 sessions. Sessions are held 3 times a week and include a range of different types of exercises, such as cycling and exercises to strengthen the muscles in the arms and legs.
A physical capability training programme has several aims:
- To enable patients to rediscover the sensations that are usually associated with physical effort
- To increase maximum physical capabilities
- To restore pleasure in physical activity and the desire to continue training in the long term
- To help reduce many risk factors (such as excessively high blood pressure, a high cholesterol level,…) through regular, sufficiently intensive physical activity
