Hi Anonymous,
April 14, 2011 - 8:11amThank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. I believe this is a question to ask your doctor. Generally speaking, it is my understanding from what I've read about post-operative Heart care, that you should be visiting with your doctor at least once a year to assess your heart health and how the procedure is working on an ongoing basis. Your cardiologist or other doctor can decide on additional testing cooperatively. It is important that if you are experiencing symptoms of heart failure, such as poor circulation, shortness of breath, dizzy spells, etc. you get to your doctor immediately.
Hope that makes sense.
Here is more information about the different types of stress testing that could be performed: http://www.medicalhealthtests.com/stress-test/types-of-stress-test.html
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
