The Heart and Vascular Center offers an outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at six locations through Yale New Haven Health to help patients transition to an active life following a cardiovascular event. Each of our cardiac rehabilitation locations is certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
Cardiac rehabilitation is strongly recommended for anyone with a recent cardiovascular problem, such as:
The cardiac rehabilitation team includes advanced practice providers, exercise physiologists, nurses, on-site cardiologists and dietitians. A patient’s program of 36 sessions is tailored to one’s fitness level. Our team identifies specific exercises, including the appropriate intensity, duration and pace that are best for one’s health. The team will also help participants identify individual cardiovascular risk factors, assist with risk factor modification and provide regular progress updates to a patient’s physician.
Cardiac rehabilitation has been shown to reduce unexpected returns to the hospital as well as other cardiac events. There is also increasing evidence it can help reduce depression, anger and other psychological problems that can follow a heart attack or surgery.
This medically supervised program is for people who have had a recent cardiovascular problem. Learn more about cardiac rehabilitation benefits, eligibility, and program features including lifestyle education and exercise.

It doesn’t always announce itself with a bang. Are there subtle signs you should watch out for that indicate you may have ticker trouble?
