Precision in recovery: Your questions about rehabilitation

After a cardiological event or an operation, many questions arise about the correct behavior and safety in everyday life. PD Dr. Raphael Bruno accompanies you in this phase with specialist medical expertise in order to reduce uncertainties and optimally manage your healing process. Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our rehabilitation and aftercare concept.

Ideally, the first contact should take place immediately after discharge from hospital or after completion of inpatient follow-up treatment (AHB). Continuous monitoring by PD Dr. med. Raphael Bruno ensures that the drug therapy is optimally effective and that your heart is safely loaded.

While inpatient treatment is often limited in time, we offer you long-term, individual support in your familiar living environment. We integrate rehabilitation into your everyday life and use precise diagnostics such as spiroergometry to adapt your training and medication precisely to your progress.

Yes, physical activity is an essential part of recovery. The crucial question is the intensity. Our performance diagnostics allow us to define a safe heart rate and exercise corridor in which you can strengthen your heart without overstraining it.

After such procedures, the blood often has to be specifically diluted and the blood pressure and blood lipid values must be within narrow target ranges. We monitor these parameters closely to check tolerance and minimize the risk of new vascular occlusions (re-stenoses).

  • A cardiac event is often also a psychological stress. We use the measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) to objectively assess how your nervous system reacts to stress. On this basis, we develop strategies for relaxation and regeneration so that you feel mentally safe again.

Specialized cardiological examinations and consultations as part of follow-up care are usually fully reimbursed by private health insurance companies and subsidy agencies. We will be happy to provide you with a transparent overview of the planned services in advance.
