hi
it takes 4 weeks for the heart functions to return to normal after plasty
during the first week patient should try to ambulate and walk inside his house and should start doing normal activities
during the second week patient should walk about 100 metres a day a walk in garden and round the house is indicated
in third week patient should ambulate 500 metre in a day
by fourth week he could start having sex and can start his all daily activities as were before angiplasty
avoid lifting very heavy weights
