Exercise may help: Heart wall motion abnormality sometimes persists despite stent placement because it reflects scar from a heart attack. To improve outcome (despite persistent wall motion abnormality) should control blood pressure, lower LDL (bad cholesterol) to less than 70, control blood sugars, avoid tobacco, weight control and increase exercise to improve heart pumping ability & healthier living.
