Structured Follow-Up to Restore Heart Strength, Stamina, and Confidence After Recovery
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we understand that the journey doesn’t end when you leave the hospital after a heart attack — in many ways, it’s just beginning. Our Post-Heart Attack Rehabilitation service is designed to help adults recover physically, emotionally, and medically after a cardiac event.
Through structured monitoring, exercise guidance, medication review, and lifestyle planning, we help rebuild heart strength and reduce the chance of recurrence. This essential follow-up care is part of our Adult Cardiology Program, offered in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.
Why Rehabilitation Matters After a Heart Attack
Surviving a heart attack is a critical milestone — but recovery requires more than just rest. Without a plan, many patients experience:
Persistent fatigue or breathlessness
Anxiety about physical activity
Missed medication adjustments or side effect checks
Incomplete blood pressure or cholesterol control
High risk of a second event within the first year
Cardiac rehabilitation turns that uncertainty into a roadmap — helping you regain strength safely and confidently.
Who Needs Cardiac Rehab?
Post-heart attack rehabilitation is recommended for anyone who has recently:
Had a heart attack (myocardial infarction)
Undergone coronary angioplasty or stent placement
Had coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
Been diagnosed with heart failure after a cardiac event
Left hospital with new medications for heart disease
Even if your symptoms seem mild or you’re feeling better quickly, structured rehab reduces long-term risk and improves quality of life.
