Ten days ago, my father experienced acute chest pain with jaw pain. He was admitted to the hospital, and the doctor performed a Trop T test, which was positive. Treatment was started, and the doctor also prescribed a 2D Echo and CK MB test, with CK MB being 11. After five days in the hospital, my father is now stable. My question is: what follow up tests or care should we go for next?

After heart attack and positive Trop T, continue medication as advised.
Regular follow ups and lifestyle changes important.
Next step: cardiac rehab.
