A heart stent is a minimally invasive surgery. Patients with coronary heart disease and angina typically can work and live normally within a week.

For post-myocardial infarction patients who have undergone stent implantation, they need to rest for a relatively long period, generally staying in the hospital for 7~10 days, while rest is mostly 1~3 months.

If there are people with heart failure, it should be determined based on the patient's physical tolerance and cannot be generalized.

During rest, light activity is generally sufficient; avoid overly strenuous activities, and housework is generally not a problem.

Regular attention should be paid to a low-salt, low-fat diet, exercise regularly, control weight, take medication regularly, and manage risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids.
