Chuck; I think I hold the record. After my first heart attack I waited the required six months then did the treadmill test and echogardiogram (they want a 51% ejection fraction, nothing to do with sex ). You must be a non smoker and have your cholestoral within limits. Got my private licence back. When a clogged artery gave me angina I had an angioplasty with stint I lost my licence again. Six months and a bit I got it back again. When I had my second heart attack I figured my flying days were over. Six months later I again passed the tests and got my licence back. You can't start the tests until five months after the attack and it usually takes more than six months to get the results and all okayed. Mind you this is the Canadian scene but then they pretty much follow the US rules. Bon chance.
