It’s hard to forget for many Americans that heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Every year, millions lose friends and family to heart attacks, but a growing number of men and women are not only surviving that significant traumatic event but actually thriving with the help of places like UM Shore Medical Center’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Clinic.
In an insightful discussion with Sherrie Hill, RN, and Sally Worm, RN, from the rehabilitation clinics in both Chestertown and Easton, the Spy learned a considerable amount on cardiovascular disease risk management, distinguishing between uncontrollable (age, heredity, sex) and controllable (blood pressure, lifestyle) factors. We also had a new appreciation for the remarkable work these clinics perform in supervising programs for those recovering from high-risk heart conditions and supporting patients psychologically and physically.
This video is approximately six minutes in length. For more information about UM Shore Medical Center’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Clinic program please go here.
