Post-Myocardial Infarction Rehabilitation — recovery after heart attack.
In most cases proper rehabilitation allows patients to return to normal life — the most important step is step-by-step recovery under specialist supervision.
Why it is needed (simple explanation)
After a heart attack the heart muscle weakens. Rehabilitation strengthens the heart, improves blood circulation and helps psychological recovery. Without it the risk of repeat attack, heart failure or depression increases.
How it is carried out
Rehabilitation has 3 phases:
- Phase 1 (hospital) — light movements and breathing exercises
- Phase 2 (home or center) — physiotherapy, walking, exercise bike
- Phase 3 (long-term) — regular sport, diet control and psychological support
Medications and additional methods
Blood thinners (aspirin), cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins), blood pressure medications and heart-strengthening drugs are continued. Additional: special exercises, yoga and stress management.
