Hello,
I appreciate your question and i would like to tell you that you can start slow walking for 20 minutes after 2 days of angioplasty and then you can gradually increase your walking speed as well as time after 15 days.
Power walking you can start after 1 month of angioplasty and its very beneficial for your health, but never forget to take prescribed medicines regularly.
Hope it will help you.
