common questions
Despite the many benefits, why do so few people use rehab?
This has several reasons. But in general, it should be said that cardiovascular diseases are highly sensitive, so patients must be referred to cardiovascular rehabilitation centers by a specialist doctor. Unfortunately, based on the conducted researches, only one out of three disabled people is referred to rehabilitation centers by a specialist doctor. Meanwhile, only one out of four referred people actually go to rehabilitation centers.
I am familiar with rehabilitation and I am aware of its benefits. Can I go to the rehabilitation center without my doctor’s knowledge?
No, the patient must talk to his treating doctor about this. Otherwise, when attending the rehabilitation clinic, he should inform the specialist doctor of the rehabilitation treatment team about this so that necessary considerations can be made in this regard.
