Are Amusement Park Rides Safe After Emergent Stent Placement When Diagnosed With Moderate MVR?

my dad recently (back in October) had a 100% heart block and suffered a heart attack, an emergent stent was placed and he has also been diagnosed with moderate mitral valve regurgitation. Will it be safe for him to ride roller coasters and amusement park rides?

Hello,

It is not safe to the cardiac patient to involve roller coaster and rides which may lead to the release of adrenaline then heart rate will increase which may lead to failure or arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
