Cardiac rehabilitation is not dangerous. Studies indicate that serious health problems resulting from rehabilitation exercises are rare. The cardiac rehabilitation group is trained to handle emergencies that may arise. Also, your doctor can help you choose the best and safest service to you. Once the individual has established a plan, many patients can exercise safely, and without supervision.

Evaluate the response and adaptation of the heart to exercise is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation. To do this, you may be connected to an electrocardiogram machine (shown in beats role and functioning of your heart) while exercising.

If rehabilitation is done at home, you can connect to a special hospital monitor through the telephone line, or you may have to telephone the rehabilitation group to report their condition. In other circumstances, check your pulse yourself or evaluate how much effort is made in the exercise.
