Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

By combining exercise, education and encouragement, we help you restore and maintain your physical, psychological and vocational well-being.

Make an appointment 800-834-7804

The Genesis Heart and Vascular Rehab Program (Phase II) is a safe way to bounce back after a heart attack, open-heart surgery or balloon angioplasty, and reduce heart disease risk factors.

We also have a variety of healthy lifestyle programs open to members of the community, patients and anyone interested in becoming more physically active.

Ask for a Referral

Ask your doctor to refer you to heart and vascular rehabilitation, a program that starts with a two-hour orientation held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information, call 740-454-4336 or 800-322-4762, ext. 4336.

Innovative options for cardiac rehab

    Exercise

    A personalized exercise program is created for each patient. Patients exercise under the watchful eye of staff with ECG and blood pressure monitoring when they first enter the program.

    As strength, endurance and range of motion improve, patients will continue to progress toward maintenance exercise. We offer internal exercise programs and external community facilities with exercise physiologists who continue to work with you and monitor your progress.

    Early admission programming

    Research from the American College of Cardiology and Hospital to Home (H2H) suggests early admission to cardiac rehab helps reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions and improve transitions of care.

    See You In Seven (SY7)

    The goal of SY7 is for all patients discharged with a heart attack or stent to start cardiac rehab within 7 days of discharge. When SY7 patients come into the program, they will be on a restricted exercise prescription for the first week to allow ample healing time, and then they will transition into normal progression.

    See You In Fourteen (SY14)

    The goal of SY14 is for all patients discharged following open heart surgery to start cardiac rehab within 14 days of discharge. When SY14 patients come into the program, they will be on a restricted exercise prescription for the first two weeks to allow ample healing time, and then they will transition into normal progression.

    Graduated ECG monitoring

    Genesis Heart & Vascular Rehab’s goal is to make you healthier and help you develop lifelong exercise routines. That’s why if you are eligible, you can “graduate” to non-ECG monitored sessions with our clinical staff. Our graduated ECG monitoring program allows you to learn how your body reacts to exercise, teaches signs and symptoms to watch for and boosts your confidence to continue a lifelong exercise program.

    Education

    Understanding heart disorders, the causes and the effects, is the focus of heart and vascular rehab education. Dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, behavioral health counselors and registered nurses help patients understand heart disease, its risk factors and what patients can do to change their risks.

    Encouragement and support

    Another goal of our heart and vascular rehab program is to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

    Insurance coverage

    Heart and vascular rehab is partially covered by Medicare if you've had a heart attack, open-heart surgery, valve repair or replacement, stable angina, balloon angioplasty or heart transplant. Most commercial insurances cover cardiac rehab, but we strongly recommend you call your insurance company to determine your coverage and co-pay.

    We also have experts who can help verify your insurance coverage and any co-pays prior to beginning the cardiac rehab program.

    A physician referral is required for admission to the program.

    Genesis Cardiac Rehab is now accepting Silver Sneakers members for cardiac rehab. Silver Sneakers is a free benefit for seniors with qualifying Medicare health plans. Members have unlimited access to the Genesis Cardiac Rehab gym. For hours and to learn more, call 740-454-4336.

        • Monitoring of aneurysms greater than 4-5 centimeters
        • Carotid endarterectomy
        • Transcarotid artery revascularization
          • TCAR is a less-invasive method for reducing the risk of stroke and complications while treating carotid artery disease in one or both neck arteries. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the neck. A tube is inserted into the carotid artery and connected to equipment to direct blood flow away from the brain temporarily. The blood is filtered before returning to a vein in the groin. In addition to fewer risks during the TCAR procedure, a smaller incision is used to reduce scarring and procedure time is less than half compared to carotid endarterectomy. Most patients return home the day after the procedure. Learn more by watching a video where Dr. Kunstmann talks about the procedure.
        • Limb salvage procedures
        • Lower extremity angioplasty
        • Upper extremity angioplasty
        • Lower extremity bypass surgery

          Heart attack

          Our specialists are experienced in both Sudden Cardiac Arrest, when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, as well as Myocardial Infarction, which occurs when the blood flow to a certain part of the heart is blocked.

          12-lead EKG saves lives

          Before you even arrive at our Emergency Department (ED) by ambulance, our ED doctors and cardiac team already have a plan to stop your heart attack. That’s because Genesis Hospital, Genesis Community Ambulance and the local EMS community have partnered to equip Emergency Medical Services (EMS) vehicles with 12-lead EKG monitors so they can determine if you are having a heart attack before arriving at the hospital. This lead time enables the hospital’s heart team to be ready to intervene as soon as you arrive. They can literally stop a heart attack in its tracks.

          Heart risk

          We can help you manage conditions that can lead to serious heart problems. These include high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and Metabolic Syndrome, which is a group of health problems that include excess fat around the waist, elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol.

          Heart failure

          When your heart is unable to properly pump the blood your body needs, you are suffering from heart failure. Our specialists will help you manage and treat your condition with lifestyle changes, medicines and when necessary, pacemakers and defibrillators.

          Irregular heartbeat

          There are many types of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) that range from minor to life-threatening. Our team of electrophysiologists will evaluate the severity of your irregular heartbeat and recommend appropriate treatments based on your individual need.

          Peripheral artery and vein disease

          This narrowing or blockage of the arteries or veins in your legs, arms or torso is caused by plaque buildup. From evaluation and diagnosis through lifestyle changes and treatments, which may include drug therapy or a minimally invasive procedure, our general and interventional cardiologists will provide guidance to help you minimize the effects of these conditions.
