Cardiac Rehabilitation Department
Cardiac rehabilitation station department "Revive"
What is cardiac rehabilitation?
It is said to improve and maintain the physical and mental functions of people with heart and blood vessel diseases and prevent recurrence. Doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and dietitians work together to practice comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation by a multidisciplinary team. In addition to exercise therapy, pharmacotherapy, nutritional therapy, psychotherapy, and lifestyle advice are also provided. The goal of exercise therapy is to teach, master, and habituate proper movement.
Thus, you will learn how to exercise and live safely even if you have heart disease. This is a program that helps you understand the risk factors that worsen heart and blood vessel conditions, and teaches you self-management methods while thinking about them together. Even if you have not exercised before or are not confident, you can work with our staff and feel at ease.
Effects of cardiac rehabilitation
-
Increases physical strength and makes it easier to move
-
Leads improvement of arteriosclerosis (improvement of hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, etc.)
-
Leads improvement of angina pectoris and heart failure symptoms
-
The dilation of blood vessels and the response of autonomic nerves improve, which helps prevent blood clots from forming
-
Leads to a reduction in myocardial infarction recurrence, sudden death, mortality rate, and rehospitalization for heart failure
Target diseases
Many blood vessel and cardiac diseases are covered, including angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, arterial dissection after blood vessel or cardiac surgery or catheterization, and aneurysms. Please consult our staff for further details.
How to receive cardiac rehabilitation
If you are a patient of our clinic, please feel free to contact our staff. It can also be used for rehabilitation purposes by patients attending other hospitals or those currently attending the hospital.

Exercise therapy equipment
Wellbike BE250
(Bicycle ergometer)
4 units
A bicycle ergometer that automatically adjusts the load in conjunction with an ECG monitor. The doctor implements an effective exercise method with load and time settings tailored to each individual's physical strength.
Strength Ergo 5
(Recumbent bicycle ergometer)
1 unit
Use a walking machine to set the speed and incline and walk with the appropriate amount of load.
Walking Lane
It is a bicycle ergometer with a backrest. It can also be performed by people with low physical strength who have reduced ability to hold a sitting position. Load settings can also be adjusted more accurately than with regular ergometers.
MAT-2700 Treadmill Equipment
1 unit
This bicycle ergometer can be performed even by those with low physical strength or walking difficulties. Highly accurate load adjustment is possible. It is also used for cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing.
Strength Ergo 8
(Bicycle ergometer)
1 unit
We have walking lanes, which is rare for rehabilitation facilities that only have outpatient facilities. We check your walking speed, form, and other precautions each time. We provide guidance so that you can exercise effectively and safely.
HUR Multifunction 5x
(Strength training equipment)
1 unit
High-performance pneumatic strength training equipment allows you to perform strength training with precise load settings.
ES-400
(Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a medical device designed to increase muscle strength. It can be used in combination with exercise therapy for those who have difficulty exercising continuously due to low physical strength or pain, etc., and can provide effective exercise therapy.
Cardiac rehabilitation management system
(ECG Monitor) RH-1000
Exercise safely, wear ECG, and are monitored by health care providers.
HUR Leg Press
(Strength training equipment)
1 unit
Many heart disease patients have weakened muscles after surgery or as a result of their disease. Our clinic can provide you with accurate resistance training at home.
What is a cardiopulmonary exercise stress test?
Exercise (walking machines or bicycles) while monitoring your ECG and measuring the concentration of oxygen, blood pressure, and carbon dioxide in your breathing. This test comprehensively checks the condition of not only the heart, but also the lungs and muscles used for exercise, and evaluates exercise tolerance (physical strength). It evaluates your current physical strength to determine how much exercise you should do. We will examine the amount of exercise that can be safely done with less strain on your heart. By performing this test, you can more accurately set the load for exercise therapy. You can expect efficient functional improvement.
【Equipment used (1) 】
Breath gas analyzer Cpex-1 is an important testing device in cardiac rehabilitation. We will examine your current physical strength, the severity of your disease, and determine the appropriate exercise load settings.
【Equipment used (2) 】
Load ECG analyzer MLX-1000 is a machine that is worn together with an breathing gas analyzer to observe ECG changes during exercise loading.
【Equipment used (3) 】
Strength Ergo 8 is a bicycle ergometer that can perform highly accurate exercise loads.
