This depends on the person, the extent of the heart surgery, and how they're feeling. Every person who undergoes heart surgery of any kind Works with a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist. After heart surgery most of the time they are given cardiac rehab Which is highly recommended to help bring up the strength while monitoring the heart safely. The cardiac rehab specialist in conjunction with the cardiology team will be able to answer this question based on the person individually And can update that answer as rehab progresses.
