Cardiac Rehabilitation research

The Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit (CRU) provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitate patients who have experienced a cardiac event, heart failure or require risk factor modification.

The CRU specialises in the management of patients with complex issues, the younger, fitter patients and those who require return to work assistance.
