If you are a heart patient who has gone on to make such a good recovery that your doctor/physician has agreed to let you return to your favourite sport "so long as you don't over do it!", then you might be interested in a website, launched in April 2002:

http://www.cardiacathletes.org/

This is a non-commercial, free website. In the forums you will meet many like-minded, friendly and interesting people from around the world to share your experiences with. You will learn much from others on how to heal your heart safely and effectively, to become fitter and healthier, to improve your sports performance, to stay positive and optimistic.

Also, here is an interesting article on a climber who had major heart surgery; and here is the website for the mission showing what can be done after major heart surgery (I have no connection to this).
