Patient: I had a heart bypass surgery with 4 bridges years ago, and now I am recovering well and my blood pressure is normal. It’s time for my post-operative review in January, and since we are from out of town, I would like to ask you if I can do the review at the local hospital. What tests should be done? What are the precautions after surgery? A: We need to take chest X-ray, ECG, and review the heart ultrasound in 3 months, and control blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipid and blood viscosity. Quit smoking, take walks, and adjust your medication.
