TeleCardiology
Heart Care, Close to Home Telecardiology is an alternative to an in-person visit with a heart specialist. It connects you to a Renown cardiologist by using a secure, video-enabled device. It can be used for consultations, examinations and follow-up appointments. Patients are seen from their local rural community clinic, close to work, home and family, minimizing the cost and time of long-distance travel for heart care. Your Telecardiology Visit Before Your Visit You may need to have a heart test or blood draw prior to your visit. In most cases, you can have the test done locally and our heart doctor will have the results when they meet with you via telecardiology. If this is your first visit, your doctor will determine if you need any tests. During Your Visit After check-in, a medical assistant will check your vital signs in a telecardiology room. Videoconferencing equipment will then connect you to a medical assistant to review your health information. Your cardiologist will talk with you remotely. When it is time for a physical examination, the medical assistant in the room with you will follow the doctor's instructions, facilitating the examination. A digital stethoscope will be used so the doctor can hear your heart and lung sounds. After Your Visit Your heart doctor will talk then review their findings and you will be able to ask questions.

Cardiac Rehab
This is a medically supervised, Pritikin-certified, intensive cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) program for those with heart disease. Our expert team creates tailored plans, providing the support heart patients need to make lasting lifestyle changes. Unlike traditional cardiac rehab, focusing on exercise alone, the three pillars of the Pritikin ICR program include: A healthy eating plan: a registered dietitian gives insight on healthy eating during cooking classes and educational talks. Safe, effective exercise: technicians safely monitor cardiovascular conditioning, strength training and flexibility. A healthy mindset: learn skills for managing stress and achieving mental and emotional well-being. This comprehensive approach allows us to address the underlying lifestyle factors leading to heart attacks and heart disease. Studies show for those completing the program and following its recommendations, they reduce their chance of a future heart event by 50 percent or more. How to Enroll Your doctor will refer you to the Healthy Heart Program. You are a candidate if you have experienced any of the following: Heart attack Angioplasty Bypass surgery Stent procedure Chest pain Cardiac transplant Valve surgery About the Program It spans 12 weeks and 36 visits An individualized plan is created based on a patient's overall health, fitness level and diet Visits are divided into two sessions; one focusing on exercise and the other on education Because many cardiac event survivors also suffer from depression, mental health is taken into account as well
