Recovery After a Heart Attack and Stents: A Comprehensive Guide

Recovery after a heart attack can vary from person to person, however with proper lifestyle changes and proper medical care, many individuals can live healthily. After a heart attack, a stent is placed to restore the flow of blood to the heart muscle. This process happens right away allowing immediate restoration of blood flow.
