My Dad lived 31 years after his heart attack.
You are supposed to do less strenuous exercise, but long cardio is great for you, and over time that can be increased in intensity as long as you feel good, and watch your heart rate. You are mostly heart rate constrained in your activities, and it depends on your complications.
Eat lots of fruits, berries, kiwis, apples, dark grapes and pomegranates, and others. Take grape seed extract. Chicken white meat and salmon are great for you.
All fatty foods give me angina since I have really bad blockages, so I don't do that.
I don't have a heart issue, but my dad had three heart attacks and the third killed him. He didn't do much of what he was suppose to do, so if you have kids and don't wanna drop dead infront of them on a family holiday then listen carefully. Walk everyday for 30 min. Brisk walking if you can. Avoid food high in cholestrol and saturated fats, also trans fat is very bad too. No red meat, no animal fat, limit the caffine. Drink fat free milk. stay away from greasy food like cheese. No more fried foods either. Stick to raw, baked or grilled food. Lot's of veggies and fruit. Unfortunately most people with heart problems are people that ate bad thier whole life, when you do that you have to pay be being good for the rest of your life. Also, quit smoking if you do and no drugs. Don't do what my Dad did.
