Andy,
Only your doctor/cardiologist will be able to give you a good answer to that question since he/she is the only one who knows what your heart is able to handle. I suggest you call your doctor. It may be something that can even be answered over the phone if your case is fresh on his/her case load.
Best of luck,
Monica M. Skidmore, MS, RD, LDN
