When the radiologist wrote "no active coronary artery disease," it typically means there were no signs of ongoing or acute issues, such as blockages causing reduced blood flow or evidence of a recent heart attack (e.g., ischemia or infarction) at the time of testing. In contrast, "no coronary artery disease" would suggest the complete absence of any buildup or damage in the coronary arteries, including chronic conditions like plaque formation or scarring. The phrase "no active coronary artery disease" might leave room for the possibility of past or minor chronic conditions that were not causing immediate symptoms or complications during the test. If you have concerns, it’s worth clarifying with your doctor whether further follow-up or preventive care is necessary. READ MORE
How long after heart transplant surgery can you resume physical activities?
he timeline for resuming physical activities after heart transplant surgery varies for each individual and depends on the progress of recovery, overall health, and any complications. Here’s a general guideline: Immediate Post-Surgery Period (First 6–8 Weeks): Focus is on healing the surgical wound and gradually regaining strength. Activities are limited to light movements, such as walking short distances, which help improve circulation and prevent blood clots. Heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and activities that strain the chest area should be avoided to allow the breastbone to heal properly. Rehabilitation Phase (2–3 Months): Cardiac rehabilitation programs often begin, involving supervised exercises tailored to your condition. Walking, light stretching, and stationary cycling may be introduced during this time. Intensity is gradually increased based on tolerance and medical advice. Beyond 3 Months: Most patients can return to moderate physical activities, such as jogging, swimming, or light weightlifting, with approval from their transplant team. The goal is to build endurance and muscle strength while ensuring no strain is placed on the heart. 6–12 Months Post-Transplant: Many patients can resume more vigorous activities, such as running or playing sports, if their recovery is progressing well and their transplant team has given the green light. Key Considerations: Always follow your transplant team's recommendations, as they monitor for signs of rejection, infection, or complications. Avoid contact sports or high-risk activities to protect the chest area and the transplanted heart. Stay consistent with medications and follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success. Each person’s recovery is unique, so it's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan. READ MORE
