Cardiac prehabilitation has been shown to reduce the risks of death and rehospitalisation for patients with coronary artery disease. This workshop engages participants in a virtual patient’s journey through the mental and physical preparation for a cardiac surgery, from prehabilitation to rehabilitation. Encounter each member of the cardiac prehabilitation team and learn their crucial roles. Learn the art of pre-exercise prescription, cognitive and pain management, and much more through a step-by-step approach to curating a cardiac prehabilitation program designed for all health professionals.
