MEDICAL CONSULTANTS

CTS has ongoing agreements with experienced and highly qualified medical personell including a Board Certified Cardiologist and Cardiac Nurses with extensive experience in cardiac rehabiltation and diagnostics.  Although clients of CTS do not have direct access to these individuals, Trainers and the Company Owner can contact them with questions or emergency situations that may arise. 

A nurse is available for immediate consultation whenever a training session is taking place, 7 days a week.  Their role with us is strictly for information and advice when necessary and will not be available for personal consultation for clients.

Our Cardiologist's role with CTS is primarily for information, advice, and clinical background.  All CTS programs and guidelines are reviewed periodiclly to maintain the highest level of clinical accuracy and validity.  He will review cardiac client files periodically to ensure no clinical information has gone unnoticed or unreviewed.  Client's ECGs, hemodynamic history, and exercise training program are reviewed semi-annually and signed by the Cardiologist before forwarding them to your personal physician.  As with our nurses, he is not available for personal consultation or medical care through CTS.
