In this podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop interviews Rob Zecchin, the president of the New South Wales chapter of the cardiac rehabilitation organization.
They discuss the importance of cardiac rehabilitation in helping patients recover both physically and mentally from a sudden cardiac event. The program provides educational, medical, and physical support to patients and their families. The engagement of friends, family, and support people is crucial to the success of the program. Women are an underrepresented group in cardiac rehabilitation, and there are specific issues that affect women more frequently than men. The challenges faced by the program include educating new cardiologists and increasing referral rates. The program typically takes six to twelve weeks to complete, and the main frustration is the low referral rates. Rob shares a story of a famous performer who completed the program successfully.
