Cardiac Rehabilitation
What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to improve cardiovascular health after a heart attack, heart surgery, or other cardiac condition. It combines physical activity, education, and support to help you recover safely, manage symptoms, and prevent future heart issues.

Traditionally offered in clinical settings, CVAUSA now makes cardiac rehab more accessible than ever through our at-home program powered by ROMTherapy. With guided exercise, real-time feedback, and professional monitoring in the comfort of your home, you can strengthen your heart and your future.

Risks and Benefits
of Cardiac Rehab
Benefits of At-Home Cardiac Rehab:
- Improves heart function and overall endurance
- Supports safer recovery with professional oversight
- Reduces hospital readmission rates
- Convenient and accessible—no travel required
- Boosts confidence and independence
Encourages long-term heart-healthy habits
Risks to Consider:
- Mild muscle soreness after activity
- Rare risk of overexertion without proper supervision
- Requires adherence and engagement to be effective
Your cardiologist will help determine if home-based rehab is right for you, ensuring your program is both safe and effective.
What to Expect
Before
You’ll meet with your care team to review your medical history, set personalized recovery goals, and verify that at-home rehab is right for you. Once cleared, we’ll deliver the PortableConnect system to your home and provide step-by-step training.
During Use
Over the 4–8 week program, you’ll complete approximately 36 guided sessions—typically 3–5 per week. Each session includes gentle, structured pedal therapy, with your vital signs (heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) monitored in real time. Your cardiac rehab specialist will join via live video to supervise, support, and, if needed, adjust your exercise plan based on your progress.
This timeframe provides enough intensity and consistency to help patients rebuild cardiovascular strength, establish healthy routines, and complete the full cardiac rehab course—without extending into long-term use.
After
At the end of your program, you’ll likely have stronger cardiovascular function, better mobility, and a personalized long-term wellness plan to maintain your heart health.
