title: Exercise After Angioplasty: How Much? How Soon?
abstract: Less costly and less invasive than bypass graft surgery, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) enables many patients who have mild or moderate coronary artery disease to resume normal activities-including exercise-within a few days of surgery. When formal, supervised exercise rehabilitation programs are not available, it's up to the primary care physician to design a program to help patients reduce their cardiac risk factors.
