Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query.
Exercises depends upon the power of heart function and degree of angina the patient has. In presence of normal heart functions (ejection fraction) and absence of angina on exertion, patient can undertake normal aerobic exercises. However prescription of exercise has to be obtained from your cardiologist.
Such patients of coronary artery disease need to avoid oily food and fried items. He must also refriani from eating sweets, refined sugars and must consume calories as per his body weight and daily activity schedule.
Feel free to discuss further.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder Singh
