Moderate activity is possible after stenting of the heart, but excessive physical labor should be avoided as much as possible.
After implantation of the stent, it is recommended that rehabilitation therapy be carried out gradually after recovery. Moderate physical activity can be practiced first. Moderate exercise helps patients to improve their physical strength and work ability. After 2 to 4 months of moderate exercise, patients can try to resume partial or lighter work.
After gradual adaptation, some may try to return to full-time work, but should avoid engaging in heavy physical labor and work with excessive mental stress. Attention should also be paid to improving dietary habits, limiting high-salt and high-fat diets, avoiding oily and overeating, and relaxing physically and mentally, which will help to improve the prognosis and enhance the quality of life.
As long as the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, regardless of whether the stent is placed or not, it is not recommended to carry out high-intensity physical exercise.
