Health Heart Autonomy Guide

You are presently in hospital being treated for acute coronary syndrome. Learning that you have coronary artery disease can be very worrisome and may raise many questions in your mind such as : can i get my life back to normal? What will happen with my job?

Many health professionals will visit you during your stay in hospital. Do not hesitate to speak to them about whatever is worrying you. You may be asked to take part in a research project. No matter what you answer to this request, you may be very sure that it will not alter the quality of care you receive while you are here.

The guide may help answer some of questions you have during your stay in hospital but will also serve when you return home. Moreover, once you leave hospital, you can take part in a free rehabilitation and prevention programme at the ÉPIC Centre. For additionnal information on this program, please contact the prevention clinic at 514 374-6730.
