Exercise prescriptio: Exercise is typically safe for people with heart disease if it is done in a cautious and judicious manner. If there has been recent open heart surgery or heart stents, cardiac rehab is a good place to start. Some conditions make exercise challenging, and it would help to speak to your cardiologist and ask for an exercise prescription.
