Cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) is a comprehensive program that supports individuals recovering from heart-related issues, such as heart attacks or cardiac surgeries. It’s like a personalized roadmap to recovery, guided by a team of healthcare professionals. But here’s the catch: Where are the women in cardiac rehab? Despite the proven benefits of cardiac rehab, women remain underrepresented in exercise-based programs. We need to address this gap and create women-focused initiatives that cater to their unique cardiovascular health needs.

Why Cardiac Rehab Matters: Despite its proven benefits, cardiac rehab remains underutilized. Only 20% to 30% of eligible individuals enroll in programs each year. Let’s change that! Cardiac rehab can prevent second heart attacks and reduce the risk of death over the next one to three years. Join the Movement! If you’ve been through cardiac issues, consider participating in a cardiac rehab program. It’s a step toward a stronger heart and a healthier life!
