What is it?
Heart conditions can occur when the heart does not effectively pump blood to your lungs or around your body. This restriction may be due to fatty deposit build up in blood vessels, or a change in blood pressure. Chronic heart failure and coronary heart disease are the two most common, life threatening heart conditions.
How can exercise help?
Getting regular exercise when you have heart issues is important for ongoing management and maintenance of quality of life, as well as prevention of further heart issues.

Strengthen your heart (cardiac) muscle
Assist in blood pressure and cholesterol level management
