I had a cardiac ablation for an arrhythmia one week ago, and it appears to have been successful. What I had was an AVNRT, although most of you probably don't know what that is. For anyone who happens to have dealt with this before, my question is this - How long after an ablation should you wait before running or any other aerobic exercise. After the procedure, the EP Cardiologist said to wait a week for aerobic exercise. Now I'm wondering if I can just go out and start running again, or if I should slowly ease into it with walk/running etc, or if I should wait a little longer. I'm going to ask the EP Cardiologist, but thought I would check on the board also.
