Pulmonary Disease
Pulmonary disease is the fourth leading cause of death in Tennessee and can be disabling if not addressed. Pulmonary diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension.
Research has shown that exercise within a pulmonary rehabilitation environment can improve quality of life, increase exercise tolerance and performance, increase independence in daily activities, increase knowledge of specific disease, better manage illness, reduce respiratory symptoms and decrease the need for hospitalization.
The Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Fitness Program at the Heart Lung Vascular Institute provides all of your health fitness needs under one roof.
