A cardiovascular event is a life-threatening situation (myocardial infarction, stroke), which has arisen due to complications of hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic cerebrovascular accident.
Unfortunately, the first year after the transfer of such an event is extremely dangerous for the patient, because it is during this period that there is the greatest likelihood of a repeated exacerbation.
Therefore, even when the patient’s condition after a cardiovascular event has been stabilized, the body needs a period of rehabilitation.
What does rehabilitation consist of?
- Physical rehabilitation – restoration of physical activity, self-service skills.
- Psychoemotional rehabilitation – moral support, restoration of life skills in society.
Drug treatment is also changing! The task of the drugs taken by the patient is to restore the body and to exclude a second heart attack or stroke.
And remember !! Only the supervision of doctors who can timely respond to the situation and change the prescribed medications, adjust the physical activity allowed for the patient, etc., makes the rehabilitation effective and safe!
