Hello ,
If the angioplasty procedure was uneventful , the heart function is normal and there are no left untreated blocks , you may start doing your workouts right away as it's already a month since the procedure .
Another scientific way to decide is to get a Stress test done and based on how you perform there and what workload you are able to reach, a call on what kind of exercise can do safely can be made .
Hoping I could help.
