The Cardiac & Pulmonary Care Clinical Pathway

At CORALVITA, our Cardiac & Pulmonary Care Pathway is designed for patients with complex heart and lung conditions who require extended recovery and specialized monitoring. Whether recovering from heart failure, cardiac surgery, or serious pulmonary complications, our team provides integrated treatment that restores strength, stabilizes health, and supports long-term independence.

Who This Pathway Is For

This pathway is ideal for patients who:

  • Are recovering from heart failure, cardiac surgery, or acute cardiac events
  • Need advanced management for chronic pulmonary disease (COPD, pulmonary hypertension, ARDS)
  • Require complex cardiac and pulmonary monitoring following a critical illness
  • Benefit from coordinated care between cardiology, pulmonology, and rehabilitation teams

What You Can Expect

Comprehensive Evaluation
Upon admission, our care team completes a thorough cardiac and pulmonary assessment to understand each patient’s unique needs. This evaluation guides a customized treatment plan that evolves as recovery progresses.

Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Patients in this pathway receive continuous monitoring of cardiac rhythm, blood pressure, oxygenation, and respiratory function. Our clinicians use evidence-based protocols to stabilize health, reduce risks, and manage symptoms.

Therapy & Rehabilitation
Recovery is supported by physical, occupational, and respiratory therapists who focus on rebuilding strength, improving endurance, and helping patients safely return to daily activities.

Medication & Disease Management
We specialize in managing complex medication regimens — including diuretics, anticoagulants, and inhaled therapies — with careful oversight to ensure safety and effectiveness. Education is also provided to patients and families on lifestyle adjustments that support heart and lung health.

Collaborative Care
Our pathway is interdisciplinary by design. Cardiologists, pulmonologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, dietitians, and case managers work together to deliver care that supports both immediate stabilization and long-term outcomes.

Outcomes We Aim For

  • Stabilized cardiac and pulmonary function
  • Reduced hospital readmissions
  • Improved strength, mobility, and independence
  • Better disease management through patient and family education
  • Enhanced quality of life and peace of mind
