Ogdensburg hospital raising awareness about heart disease

Posted

OGDENSBURG -- Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center’s cardiac rehabilitation department is joining the National Cardiac Rehabilitation Week to draw attention to the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease.

Heart attack is still the number one killer of Americans.

Patients of any age being treated for a broad range of heart conditions can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation.

These conditions may include a heart attack, coronary bypass or valve surgery, other cardiac interventions such a stent, balloon, pacemaker, or implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Cardiac rehab can also help patients who have a long history of heart disease and chronic chest pain.

Ask your provider is cardiac rehabilitation is right for you.
