Is It Advisable To Work Out In The Gym With Heart Disease?
i am 33 years old male and have gone through stenting 9 years ago due to blockage in the artery; it was detected during the regular check up that my blood pressure was very high. I am fine after the surgery just wanted to know if i can start working out in the gym as this was a passion for me before i get the surgery done.
thanks

Hello,
After stenting and opening the coronary artery, without having a history of prior myocardial infarction a person is in a very good condition and he can work like any other healthy person. Since has gone nine years from stenting, I would suggest you do a stress test and to see how is your working ability. Based on that the cardiologist can say if you can work out in the gym.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regard,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
