Patient question
How can a patient with cardiovascular disease get individualized advice when concerned about exercise risks?
Answer reviewed by Li Yan, Chief Physician
Professional answer
Explain your current symptoms, past events, examination results, medications, and the type of exercise you wish to do to your attending physician. Ask them to determine whether further evaluation or rehabilitation guidance is needed. Do not copy someone else's exercise intensity. If chest pain, marked shortness of breath, dizziness, or near fainting occurs during exercise, stop immediately and seek help depending on severity.
