What exactly is cardiopulmonary care?
In medicine, “cardio” refers to the heart and “pulmonary” refers to the lungs. Your heart and lungs are two of the most important organs in your body. They work hand-in-hand to give your entire body the oxygen it needs to function, so when something is off with one system, the other is also affected. That’s why it’s so important to see your general practitioner regularly—especially if you have a history of heart or respiratory disease.
