Join Us As We Celebrate Cardiac Rehabilitation Week!

The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation initiated National Cardiac Rehabilitation to focus national attention on cardiac rehabilitation's contribution to the improvement of the health and physical performance of individuals at risk for heart disease or diagnosed with heart disease or dysfunction. The week also aims to draw attention to the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease. National Cardiac Rehabilitation Week was initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) to focus national attention on cardiac rehabilitation's contribution to the improvement of the health and physical performance of individuals at risk for heart disease and/or those individuals diagnosed with heart disease or dysfunction. We invite you to join HomeCEUConnection.com during AACVPR National Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, February 9–15, to celebrate the life-saving impact of cardiac rehabilitation. HomeCEUConnection.com is offering rehab professionals two cardiac rehab related video courses at a discounted cost to honor the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease and improving quality of life for patients and their families. Rehab professionals can use the promo code "Heart10" to save on one or both courses until the end of February and add valuable information to their cardiac rehab know how. "Clinical Pharmacology: Cardiovascular, Pain Management and Endocrine Pharmacology" by Suzanne Tinsleay, PT, PhD, NCS, explores the mechanism of action, interferences of functional outcomes for patients on cardiovascular and pain medications, skeletal muscle relaxants, and endocrine related pharmaceuticals. Therapists often treat patients that have pathology primary to what the therapist is treating them for. In the case of patients with cardiovascular issues, unless the therapist works in a cardiac rehab facility, they generally do not treat patients for their cardiovascular pathology. Even though the clinician may not be treating the patient directly for the cardiovascular issue, they should be aware of the drugs they are on and how those drugs may interfere with the clinicians outcome. "Rehabilitation for the Cardiac Impaired with an Adjunctive Look at the Vascular System" by Dr.Karen Holtgrefe, DHS, PT, OCS, presents a comprehensive discussion of assessments and interventions of the vascular system and vascular and cardiac disorders, to arm the rehab professional with reliable tests and treatment for their patients. Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), coincides with both Valentine’s Day and American Heart Month in an effort to draw greater national attention to heart health. This year’s theme, “For the Heart, From the Heart,” honors the patients, families, and healthcare professionals who are dedicated to cardiac rehabilitation as a vehicle for a healthy lifestyle. HomeCEUConnection.com is proud to support Cardiac Rehabilitation Week and our growing family of rehab professionals. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
