Course overview

This 2-hour webinar is designed to equip home health PTs and PTAs with practical skills to manage adults recovering from CABG, valve surgery, MI/stent, and heart failure in the home setting. Participants will review typical post-hospital recovery trajectories, learn to perform focused cardiac assessments (including vitals, orthostatics, and symptom monitoring), and apply clear red-flag criteria to guide safe "go/no-go" decisions in non-monitored environments. The course emphasizes designing and progressing symptom-limited exercise and functional mobility programs using tools such as RPE, talk test, and functional outcome measures, while integrating patient and caregiver education on daily self-monitoring, pacing, and lifestyle strategies to support cardiac stability and reduce readmissions.
