A member asked:
In october 2010, i had surgery on pericarditis. at the moment, i feel good physically. i want to know what sport i can do?

All sports: You should be able to do any sport with no restrictions assuming your heart function is normal. With pericarditis, usually cardiac function is preserved, but check with your doctor or cardiologist to be sure.
