Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the following would be general measures to be followed in a patient with heart attack survival
- regular use of prescribed medications of a cardiologist for rest of the life as beta-blockers, calcium channel blocker, ace inhibitor, lipid-lowering agents, antiplatelets, antihypertensive (if applicable), anti-diabetic (if applicable)

* Regular walking, aerobics, YOGA, meditations
* Avoidance of smoking, alcohol if consuming
* Avoidance of stress, anxiety
