Yes so long as you continue with lifestyle modifications and taking your medications
Absolutely! You will have more energy to be more active. You will need to continue taking the medications as directed by your cardiologist for as long as your cardiologist tells you to. You are usually on dual antiplatelet medications for up to one year to ensure that your stent stays
open. You will continually have to watch your diet and continue to exercise to maintain your health.
Yes. Absolutely
