Hi, as your husband had quadruple by pass, he needs to be in touch with the cardiologist regularly, and physiotherapy may not have any role here.
He will be tested, E.C.G, echo, and bleeding and clotting time regularly to prevent the attack again. Cholesterol also should be tested and kept under control.Thank you.
