I have five years of experience working as a Cardiac Rehab Specialist, during which I have developed and implemented personalized exercise and lifestyle modification programs for patients recovering from heart conditions. My background includes working closely with cardiologists and other healthcare professionals to ensure patients achieve optimal health outcomes.

I conduct a thorough initial assessment, reviewing medical history, current medications, and any recent cardiac events. I also perform physical evaluations, including cardiovascular and musculoskeletal assessments, to determine their readiness and tailor the program to their specific needs.

I use a combination of goal-setting, positive reinforcement, and education about the benefits of exercise and lifestyle changes. I also encourage family involvement and provide ongoing support to help patients stay motivated and committed to their recovery.

I am trained in CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). In an emergency, I would immediately activate the emergency response system, provide necessary first aid, and ensure the patient is comfortable until medical professionals arrive.

Nutrition is a critical component of cardiac rehab. I educate patients on heart-healthy diets, including reducing sodium and saturated fats, increasing fiber, and incorporating more fruits and vegetables. I also work with dietitians to create personalized meal plans that support their overall health goals.
