According to Dr Shetty, for patients who have been diagnosed with heart ailments or even hypertension, it becomes necessary to undergo cardiac rehabilitation. He emphasised the need for a cardiac rehabilitation centre in the treatment of cardiac patients and said, “Ramaiah Memorial Hospital has developed a futuristic cardiac rehab centre which is par with any global cardiac rehab centres.”
The cardiac rehab programme helps reduce the chances of the suffering of a cardiac patient. It aims to limit the risk of psychological and physiological stresses of heart diseases which thereby reduces the risk of mortality.

MR Jayaram, Chairman, Gokula Education Foundation, which runs Ramaiah Group of Hospitals, said that the patient care was very critical for all. This cardiac rehab centre is a unique facility offered by Ramaiah Memorial Hospital to help recover any cardiac patient.
“This super-speciality addition will give impetus to the cardiac procedures. Ramaiah Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre will go a long way as a futuristic and well-thought process in the high-class treatment of cardiac problems,” he added.
