It is important to ensure that the patient's lifestyle changes are supported by those around them, and to care for patients of cardiac surgery, it is helpful to offer psychological support by aligning some of these changes, especially those that have to do with social habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as meals. It is also helpful to someone recovering from heart surgery to have a companion during exercise after open heart surgery since injuries resulting from a fall or dizziness at this time can be much more severe for them.
