Cardiac Rehabilitation at Covenant Health
Leaving the hospital is just the first step in recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or angioplasty. Heart patients often need to strengthen weakened heart muscles and learn heart-healthy lifestyle practices. Through customized programs of monitored exercise, education, and counseling, cardiac rehabilitation offers a supportive environment to help heart patients regain strength and functional capacity while reducing the risk of future heart problems.
Cardiac Diagnosis and Treatment
At Cumberland Medical Center, we’re on a mission to provide residents of East Tennessee with the comprehensive, cutting edge cardiac services you need and deserve.
Cardiac Imaging and Diagnostics
Involves non-invasive and invasive techniques to assess the structure, function and health of the heart and surrounding blood vessels. These tests help detect conditions like coronary artery disease, valve disorders and arrhythmias, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Common examples include:
- Echocardiograms
- Coronary Calcium Scan
- Nuclear Stress Tests
- Cardiac CT Scans
Electrophysiology
Holter MonitoringFocuses on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) by studying the heart’s electrical activity. Electrophysiology procedures help pinpoint irregular electrical signals in the heart and restore normal rhythm through interventions. Common examples include:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG)
- Arrhythmia Evaluation
- Holter Monitoring
- Cardiac arrest
- Pacemakers
Interventional Cardiology
Involves minimally invasive procedures using catheters to diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel conditions without open heart surgery. These techniques are often used to restore blood flow, repair structural issues or treat valve disorders. Example include:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
- Pericardiocentesis
- Interventional Cardiac Stenting
Vascular Diagnostics and Interventions
Involve tests and treatments to evaluate and address diseases affecting blood vessels, including arteries, veins and lymphatics. These techniques help diagnose conditions like blockages, aneurysms or varicose veins and restore healthy circulation. Common examples include:
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Venous duplex
- Color doppler
- Doppler ultrasound
- Cardiac catheterization

What are the symptoms of heart disease?
Symptoms of heart disease can vary based on the specific condition, but common signs include:
- Chest pain or discomfort (angina): Often feels like pressure, tightness, or squeezing in the chest, especially during physical activity or stress.
- Shortness of breath: May occur during activity, rest, or while lying flat.
- Fatigue: Persistent tiredness, even with minimal exertion.
- Swelling (edema): Particularly in the legs, ankles, or feet, often linked to heart failure.
- Heart palpitations or dizziness: Common with arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats.
- Radiating pain: Chest pain that spreads to the arms, neck, jaw, or back, often associated with coronary artery disease.
If you notice these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
What are heart attack symptoms in men and women?
Heart attack symptoms can differ between men and women:
Common Symptoms in Men:
- Chest pain or pressure, often described as a squeezing or heaviness.
