Post-heart surgery care involves managing medications, monitoring for complications, and gradually increasing physical activity. Patients should follow a heart-healthy diet, maintain proper wound care, and in home nursing care after surgery attend follow-up appointments. Cardiac rehabilitation aids recovery by improving strength and endurance. Emotional support is essential to cope with anxiety or depression. A healthy lifestyle, including stress management and regular exercise, ensures long-term heart health.
