Question

“I’ve been walking with my wife daily this past week. However, I can only walk for about 5 minutes before feeling extremely fatigued. That heart attack really scared me, and now I realize how important it is for me to take control of my health by adjusting my lifestyle. I wish I could walk longer and farther without becoming so tired. I want to jog, and maybe even run in a 10K race someday. Although it will be a challenge, I’m ready to begin my cardiac rehabilitation.” 2. How would you approach/educate Frank on lifestyle/behavior modification and his coronary artery disease risk factors? What would you suggest he modify to help prevent another acute MI from occurring?
