CSA provides an Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) for patients with qualified diagnoses that need assistance with risk factor modification through medically supervised exercise and education.

The Intensive Cardiac Rehab Program, which must be prescribed by a medical doctor, is provided Monday through Friday between the hours of 8am-5pm. Patients will participate 3 days per week in sessions that include exercise and teaching to reach cardiopulmonary short-term and long-term goals. Length of the program usually ranges from 12-18 weeks, depending on qualifications, availability and individual progress.

Our ICR is partnered with Pritikin to accomplish the best outcomes for patients experiencing cardiovascular disease. Research on the Pritikin program began at UCLA, leading to more than 100 peer-reviewed published scientific studies which improved the following criteria:

Slowed progression of coronary heart disease.
Reduced the need for coronary bypass surgery.
Reduced the need for percutaneous coronary interventions.
Reduced LDL, triglycerides, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and the need for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes medications.

Today, ongoing research underscores the power of Pritikin in addressing chronic diseases – including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and cancer – and the significant impact that positive lifestyle interventions and education can have upon their development.
