Not much: Post surgery usually it is recommended not to exceed your heart rate above 85% of maximal age predicted heart rate. If your heart rate goes above 85% that will increase the demand by the heart for increased circulation to the heart. That is why it is usually recommended not to exceed 85%.

Caution: After building. Stamina and conditioning. I don't think that you can't go that far. 1-2 times a week.
