Cardiac Rehabilitation

At Hattiesburg Clinic, cardiac rehabilitation is a collaborative effort to help patients improve the future of their heart health. For patients who have experienced any form of heart disease including, heart failure, angioplasty, cardiac surgery or a heart attack, a cardiac rehabilitation program may prove beneficial to the future health of the patient. The cardiac rehabilitation program may consist of:

Counseling
Heart-healthy lifestyle information
Nutrition and physical education specifically related to heart health

A cardiac rehabilitation program is designed to help the patient grow stronger, both physically and mentally. It is also recommended to educate the patient on how to manage and hopefully improve their heart health for years to come. Patients should consult with a doctor for more information on a cardiac rehabilitation program that best meets their needs.

Congestive Heart Failure Management

Congestive heart failure is a condition that occurs when the heart does not function properly and cannot pump enough blood to supply the body. It can be an ongoing condition or can happen suddenly. Conditions that contribute to heart failure include:

High blood pressure
Coronary arterial disease
Stenosis
Regurgitation
Congenital, or birth-defects
Myocarditis
Arrhythmia
Damaged heart muscles, or cardiomyopathy
Other diseases (such as HIV or diabetes)

Along with treatments and procedures offered at Hattiesburg Clinic, our team offers comprehensive heart failure management. Disease management includes education on lifestyle, nutrition and physical activity changes to improve your overall heart health. A patient should consult their provider regarding an appropriate plan of care to manage their heart health.

Device Clinic

For patients who have implanted heart devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, regularly scheduled clinic visits are recommended to ensure the functionality and success of the devices. Hattiesburg Clinic provides a comprehensive device clinic to help manage the long-term care of implant patients.

It is important to consult with your cardiovascular team to determine the appropriate method for effectively managing your heart disease. Each plan is tailored to the unique needs of our patients and may involve one or a combination of care options.
