Thanks for contacting HCM
From your question you are uncertain whether exercise aftr cardiac stents would be recommended. In my practice I have several patients with cardiac stents and I recommend all my patients to participate in some exercise program. Exercise helps build better lungs, better heart health, better vasculature and overall better health.
I would recommend doing only moderate exercise and if you do develop chest pain to stop.
