Recover stronger. Reduce your risk. Reclaim your confidence.
Touro's Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in New Orleans helps patients safely
rebuild strength after a cardiac event or procedure while lowering the
risk of future heart problems.
Through medically supervised exercise, education, and lifestyle support,
we help you take control of your heart health, one step at a time.
Hear from our cardiologist explain how cardiac rehab strengthens recovery
and reduces future risk of heart problems.
Who Benefits from Cardiac Rehab?
You may be a candidate for cardiac rehabilitation if you have experienced:
Heart attack
Bypass surgery
Valve surgery or repair
Stent replacement or angioplasty
Heart transplant
Stable angina
Peripheral vascular disease
If you're unsure whether cardiac rehab is right for you, our team can help
guide you.
Many patients start light, monitored exercise within days of their procedure
while still in the hospital (Phase 1). After discharge, we transition
you into a structured outpatient program designed to safely build endurance,
flexibility, and strength over time.
Our supervised program ensures your heart rhythm, blood pressure, and exertion
levels are monitored every step of the way.
The Three Phases of Cardiac Rehab
Phase I - Inpatient Recovery
Monitored, low-level exercise
Early mobility
Patient education
Phase II - Supervised Outpatient Program
Our 12-week program includes:
Three supervised sessions per week
Individualized exercise plan
Heart rhythm and blood pressure monitoring
Education on nutrition, stress management, and smoking cessation
Phase III - Maintenance and Long-Term Health
Sustainable habits are the goal.
During Phase III, we help you transition to independent exercise while
continuing periodic monitoring and support to maintain long-term heart health.
Why Cardiac Rehab Matters

Lower blood pressure
Improve heart function
Reduce stress
Support healthy weight

Reduce the risk of future cardiac events
Cardiac rehab doesn't just help you recover, it helps you move forward
