Henry Ford Health Cardiologists Lead National Study on Novel Bleeding Monitoring System
Novel technology monitors and lowers bleeding complications in patients undergoing heart procedures.
You’ve just been discharged from the hospital after a serious issue with your heart, and you’re a little apprehensive about what happens next.
Henry Ford’s Cardiac Rehabilitation program, also known as “The Confidence Course,” is designed for patients like you who were recently discharged from the hospital following a heart attack, coronary angioplasty or heart surgery, or with a condition like stable angina and heart failure.
