Patient's question:

Patient with a heart attack, with a history of over a year, has not been active, feeling that their physical fitness has declined compared to before. They haven't been active since getting sick.

Doctor's answer:

Patients with myocardial infarction must strictly avoid the intake of greasy and irritating foods in daily life. It is recommended to engage in appropriate aerobic exercise, such as cycling, running, or swimming. Generally, this will not be harmful to the body. It is advisable to undergo an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography to assess the specific recovery status. If myocardial ischemia still exists, it can be treated with medications that stabilize blood supply.
