Cardiac rehabilitation hailed (USA)

"Most have heard the healthy living advice for years: Don't smoke, follow a low-fat diet, exercise regularly and control diabetes to prevent more serious illnesses. But having a heart attack creates a whole new outlook, said Jill Fox, manager cardiac rehabilitation services at Somerset Hospital, PA. 'It takes people off guard,' Fox said. 'They come in looking like the deer in the headlights.' Fortunately, Somerset's cardiac rehabilitation class and similar programs at Windber and Memorial medical centers give patients a fighting chance at a strong recovery and reduced risk of future heart attacks" - The Tribune-Democrat
