• Ashok -- make sure to strictly follow your cardiologist's prescriptions, especially the anti-clotting medications (aspirin and Plavix or Ticlid). There are probably others that he/she has prescribed to lower cholesterol, etc. As for exercise, you should discuss this with your cardiologist who has the specific information about you and your clinical status. Keep us informed as to your progress.
