Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
If your is having heart attack (myocardial infarction) then the angioplasty or stenting procedure will depend on the site and size of the blockage.
After the stenting he will most probably fine within 2 to 3 weeks of complete bed rest.
Yes,he may start is normal activities after complete recovery and get thoroughly checked by cardiologist.
He will need to take some precautions:
1) Control of alcohol intake with complete avoidance of smoking and tobacco.
2) Good control of blood pressure if he is having high BP.
3) Try to loose weight (if obese) with mild to moderate exercises daily for half an hour.
4) Eat healthy diet like high protein,low carbohydrates and fats.
5) Good control of your stress level.
Consult your cardiologist for further advice and follow-up treatment.
