Can you exercise with coronary heart disease?

Coronary heart disease refers to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Whether you can exercise or not depends on your physical condition.

Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is caused by the accumulation of lipid substances in coronary arteries leading to narrowing of blood vessels, which in turn causes myocardial insufficiency. If the patient has mild coronary artery disease and heart function is not significantly affected, low-intensity exercise can be carried out appropriately. However, if the condition is more serious, bed rest is recommended to reduce the burden on the heart.

Patients should control the intake of high-salt and high-fat foods according to the doctor's guidance, and actively quit smoking and alcohol to improve the prognosis of the disease.
