Abstract:
Rebuilding one's life after a myocardial infarction requires mobilizing each and every resource available during a difficult period. Medical treatments, physical training and patient education (PE) help to initiate this process. Associating healthcare with art and culture is known to favour an existential « rebirth » and positive biological effects. Since 2019, we propose an initiation to museotherapy (museum in health) to patients in our cardiac rehabilitation program. This article summarizes the evidence about museotherapy benefits in cardiovascular diseases and describes the experience gathered by the cardiology service of the HUG since museotherapy was initiated in 2019.
