Has anyone ever done Cardiac Rehab and have some insight into what rehab programs they will probably utilize? I am sure it has a lot to do with getting my heart back in shape and will probably entail some exercises to get my strength back. In addition I am sure they will probably have a diet regimen I will need to follow as strictly as possible ( am guessing no more of the sweets that I rarely ate anyway).
But would appreciate any insight anyone can give me on what I can expect.

Kind of ironic I am sitting in Springfield hospital lobby waiting on the Mrs.
I consider myself very experienced on cardiac rehab as I went through it in Illinois and Branson.
Their mission is to help overcome the habits we have developed that are the two parts of the 5 that we can control.
Diet and exercise
I went a couple times a week for a couple years to the Branson West facility until I decided to buy my own equipment and do it on my schedule.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised and wish you the best
