Yes, he can but his cardiologist and cardiac rehab facility should guide him through an exercise program.

Left bundle branch lock is less common after mitral surgery than aortic surgery. Whether he can return to full activity including lifting weight lifting will depend upon whether he had left ventricular impairment prior to surgery or after. Lifting weights is more stressful for the heart than walking or biking. Best advice, discuss fully with his cardiologist before proceeding.
