     The Cebu Heart Institute is:
 
Ø  CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY CAPABLE
 
Ø  the first to offer this capability outside Manila since 1994
 
Ø  proud of our 98% in-hospital and 96% 5-year survival rates of our post-cardiac surgery patients
   
   
 
CARDIAC REHABILITATION
 
Patients who had coronary events (heart attacks) and post heart surgery can undergo Cardiac Rehabilitation to bridge their return to previous state of productivity in their work and social circles. Our multidisciplinary Advanced Rehabcare and Sports Medicine Centre offers a personalized and holistic cardiac rehabilitation program.
