What are the first things to ask a post myocardial infarction patient before exercise prescription?

Thanks!

A lot of people are referred to a cardiac rehab-type exercise program where they can be monitored closely. Ask your doc if there is one available in your area.

If not, ask what activities can be done safely. Walking is a good place to start, gradually increasing intensity as tolerated.

Good luck, hope this is somewhat helpful.
