Heart diseases facilitate the understanding of the meanings and interactions of individuals with the environment in which they live, interpret and experience their relationships. We sought to understand the relationship of coronary patients hospitalized in the pre and post-surgery periods with the care and bodily practices recommended and prescribed during their illness. The methodological procedures were based on qualitative research utilizing the ethnographic method, which uses participant observation and ethnographic interviews as techniques. The study was conducted at a federal cardiology hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro, from September 2015 to February 2016. Sixteen adult patients (8 women and 8 men) with coronary artery disease, who were in the pre-surgery and immediate post-surgery periods of cardiac operation, were interviewed, and their routine was observed during hospitalization. The understanding of the experiences evidenced that, throughout the illness of these patients, there were frequent recommendations from health professionals regarding the practice of physical activity, specifically walking; and a diet restricted in sodium and fat. However, it was observed that the patients' experiences and family arrangements and rearrangements determine the social support for these bodily practices and are crucial in coping with the disease.
