When Can Physical Activities Be Resumed After Stent Insertion?
My husband has had a heart attack today and has had a stent inserted. He has a physical job of shop fitting and wants to return to work in two weeks time working 12 hour shifts for two months with little time off. He is also an alcoholic who has been drinking 100 plus units per week. He also smokes. Any advice.

Dear Mrs,
Your husband will gradually resume physical activities, the exact time when he can be back his full normal activities depends on the course of his disease, if everything will be normal during hospital stay and there will be no heart failure he can return his normal physical activities in two week.
