How do I access this service?
If you have recently been an inpatient at the QEII hospital due to heart related conditions, you will be automatically referred to a cardiac rehab program. In other parts of the province, your health care provider can refer you to the program nearest you.
Who Is the Program For?
Cardiac Rehab is a program for people with Heart & Vascular Disease. This includes people who have a history of:
- Heart Attack, Angina, Heart Failure, Cardiac Surgery & Interventions (such as Coronary Bypass Surgery, Angioplasty, Heart Transplant, Heart Valve Surgery)
- Non-Disabling Stroke, and/or Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) (mini stroke)
- Peripheral Artery Disease
Please note that enrollment criteria may differ slightly between the Nova Scotia Cardiac Rehab sites, and each Cardiac Rehab team will review referrals before enrollment into our programs.
Some programs may also accept referrals for people who have high risk for heart disease due to having at least three of the major cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes, abnormal cholesterol, high blood pressure and smoking.
