Can I Resume Exercising After A Stent Implantation?
Hello I m 40 years old. I had a stent implantation in my lad on fen 27 2011. I m feeling great now. Before the implant I used to take 3 classes of body pumping per week along with another 2 days per week for card training, rowing or treadmill. Would I be able to resume the same after the stent and after how long. Thank you

Hi,
Welcome.
For stent placement in a patient with heart attack we advice to resume his normal schedule after a month or more depending of his condition.
For others with elective stent placement, he can start with moderate physical exercise after a week & can do every exercise after a month.
Thanks
