It would depend on many factors including over all physical health and other medical factors. After having an MI you will generally be given drugs that you have to take for the rest of your life- providing you continue doing so and stick to a relatively healthy life style your chances of having another one are reduced. The most crucial time is the 24-48 hours post MI.
You are more likely to have another heart attack if your coronary arteries are badly affected with atheroma (plaque build up) or further build up of atheroma continues- if there is a high risk of this a bypass may be considered.
To reduce your chances of further atheroma, try and eat a healthy diet, take regular exercise and stay as close to your ideal weight as possible. Only drink alcohol in moderation. That is all you can do, atheroma is also to a certain extent part of the ageing process.
Generally you would have been put on the cardiac rehabilitation programme which includes a graded exercise component- this is suitable for most patients with stable left ventricular dysfunction.
