3months: About 3 months. Patients enrolled in a cardiac rehab program recover quicker and maintain a higher level of function. In addition they have fewer complications in the future.

It depends: Everyone recovers at a different rate, but to fully recover usually takes several months. Don't rush it - use common sense and work with your doctor to optimize your recovery.
