A member asked:

How long would i have to stay in the hospital for recovery from mi?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: On many factors. The size of the infarct, whether or not heart failure occured, revascularization etc. Impossible to give a general rule except that an uncomplicated mi may only need 24-48 hrs in hospital.
