Dear Sir
Thanks for your query to HCM.
The well recognized preventive measures to prevent recurrence of heart attack include cessation of smoking, maintenance of optimal body weight/ cholesterol/ blood pressure/ diabetes, regular supervised exercise and avoiding all kind of psychosocial stress. You must also take all your medicine regularly.
