[|Human|] Hi Dr,Im R.Mehkala from Malaysia. I would like concern about my fathers heart disease. Recently he have been diagnosis as CTO and he been referred for PCI procedure which is goin to do in a week time. I want to know about exercises should he do and also about foods he should and shouldnt take after the stent? Thats all. Kindly to advice. Thanks.
[|AI|]  Dear Sir/ MadamThanks for your query. Exercises depends upon the power of heart function and degree of angina the patient has. In presence of normal heart functions (ejection fraction) and absence of angina on exertion, patient can undertake normal aerobic exercises. However, prescription of exercise has to be obtained from your cardiologist. Such patients of coronary artery disease need to avoid oily food and fried items. He must also refrain from eating sweets, refined sugars and must consume calories as per his body weight and daily activity schedule. Feel free to discuss further. SincerelySukhvinder Singh
