Hello,  I m 40 years old male.  had a stent implented in my LAD last week.  I m feeling well now.  before the procedure i used to do body pumping exercise and lots of cardio (treadmill, steps machine, rowing).  Would I be able to go back to the same exercises in the future, and approximately after how long. Thank you
Hi Charles you can go back to your old routine only If your cardiac function is completely normal which can be estimated by an Echocardiogram. If you are not a professional athlete then there is no need to exerted that much. What I would like to recommend you is that start going for daily brisk morning walk for 45 mins a day for 5 days a week, you can also go to gym for light weight lifting and cardio but for that wait for at least a month so that your body can recover fully. This routine will keep you healthy without exerting your heart much. Stop smoking completely (If you do)Wish You Good Health
