hi
you have to continue your cardiac medications promptly.
quality of life once again depends on your individual lifestyle.
avoid stress, lifting heavy weights
maintain your heart rate and blood pressures, oxygenation at acceptable limits
to decrease the load on the heart with the oxygen demand.
fluid restriction, avoid salt, oily & heavy meals.
regular follow up with your cardiologist at least once in 12 weeks.
all the best
take care
