Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Phases:

• Phase I: This phase begins in the hospital, where our healthcare team introduces patients to the concept of cardiac rehabilitation and assesses their health.
• Phase II: Phase II marks the initial outpatient phase of the program. Patients exercise in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Department under the supervision of a skilled medical team. Phase II is a 12-week program consisting of 36 sessions, typically 30-60 minutes each, three days a week.
• Phase III: Phase III follows the completion of Phase II or when medically appropriate. Patients can continue in the supervised Cardiac Rehabilitation program with less monitoring, or a customized home exercise program can be designed for them.

At Kalp Health Care, we’re dedicated to providing wise, empathetic, and innovative care, ensuring transparent and patient-centric rehabilitation for cardiac and pulmonary conditions. Your health and well-being are our top priorities.
