It depends on what type of sugery and anesthesia you are having. It also depends on how extensive your myocardial infarction was. Your surgeon may order different cardiac tests before surgery to determine if it is safe.

What is the immediate emergency medical intervention for a Myocardial Infarction patient?
The first process of treatment for a myocardial infarction (heart attack) is to diagnose its exact cause and location. It must be determined whether it is a blockage or death of the heart tissue before the appropriate treatment can be prescribed. This often involves the use of medical scans and imagery. It only takes a few minutes to pinpoint the exact location of the problem and for the surgeon or doctor to begin medical/surgical intervention. From a first aid point of view, the first medical intervention is to monitor the patient closely, start cardiopulmonary resuscitation if necessary and call for an ambulance immediately.

"Surgery" means the actual intervention into the body to correct problems.
