Check w/Cardiology: Everyone's heart condition is unique. Only your cardiologist or your primary care doctor can tell you how much you can exercise and stress your heart. Please check with them before you do. Hope it works out well!

Testing: I hope that your Cardiologist will be able to address that question. If you have good heart function and there is no chance of trauma to the chest, it may be fine to take the classes. Cardio pulmonary exercise testing is usually ordered to determine your level of exercise tolerance. Best of luck.
