Heart disease doesn’t start when the diagnosis is made and it doesn’t end when the Patient is discharged from the hospital, it took years to develop to the point where treatment is necessary and Rehabilitation also takes time. Qualifying events to participate in phase II include heart attack, angioplasty or stent procedure, CABG or Valve replacement, chest pain (angina), heart/lung transplant, CHF with NYHA class III or greater, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis or emphysema.
Living with a chronic lung disease can be easier. Better Breathers Clubs are welcoming support groups for individuals with chronic lung disease and their caregivers. Learn better ways to cope with conditions such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and asthma while getting the support of others in similar situations. Led by a trained facilitator, these in-person adult support groups give you the tools you need to live the best quality of life you can.
