Cardiac Rehabilitation Members Area

Welcome to the cardiac rehabilitation members area. This is a resource page specifically for cardiac patients and their families at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney.  

On this page, you'll find videos which you are recommended to watch as part of the St Vincent's Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

We've designed this online program to support you during your recovery in the absence of face to face education sessions. 

All cardiac patients are encouraged to complete their cardiac rehabilitation program, as it contains essential information about your health and recovery.

Telehealth appointments

Telehealth appointments are offered in many St Vincent's Hospital clinics and programs, including cardiac rehabilitation. This means that you can attend your appointment from home.
