Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is OK to exercise regularly, but it is also important to avoid straining physical activity.
You can start to exercise after a month from the stent placement.
Regarding the EF, it can improve, especially if you follow your doctor's advice about your lifestyle and your medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
