I haven't had any problem like this you had, but anyway, I think is a good idea to look for a doctor before start doing any physical stress...
Good recovery for you buddy!

I have a friend who used to play. He had a heart condition. For years he played where his doctor told him he could play but just training. No matches because the matches messed with his blood pressure and his heart too much. But training without counting points was fine. He was in his 70s and had two heart attacks by then.
You might be fine playing matches. But if not, training without competing may be helpful to the heart condition.

Ask your doctor! If you cannot resist not playing, start slow, and stop immediately when you feel any discomfort.
Without knowing your age or medications you may be on, I don't think anyone can give much more specific info apart from your doctor!

I have a friend with a father who had a heart attack and still plays table tennis. I myself suffer from serious injuries after a car accident. I think you should be able to play table tennis if you do what the other posters suggested, it is as when starting with any exercises, go very slow in the beginning.
You should not take nor should I give medical advice over the internet though, so take what I say with a grain of salt and consult a doctor if in doubt.
I'm fairly certain that your life is not over just because you had a heart attack though. Having one at 37 must suck, I felt very much the same with my accident when I was around 20, it takes some getting used to, but life very much goes on, you just have to adapt and overcome.
Start at very low intensity and build up _very_ slowly.

One of my friends died of a severe heart attack during a match. I saw him die in front of me. He had a wife and two kids. Don't push yourself. Don't risk it.

I agree. I'll say what my friends dad said after his heart attack though.
He said that he'd rather die than sit around the house doing nothing, so he's still playing table tennis and we have had him with us on 2 5 day hikes way up north. One might feel that he's selfish, but he sat down with his family and they agreed on what he can and cannot do. He gave up running, but he really wanted to keep hiking, even if it is pretty dangerous for somebody with his condition.
He has a pulse meter with him every time he does something that will impact his heart rate, with a safe pulse threshold set by his doctor. As soon he hits that threshold he takes a rest until his heart rate is in a safe zone. It's still not 100 % safe, but are anybody that? And it is his and his family's choice, so who am I to argue with that?
In the end every individual has to make his own decisions in consideration with his/her doctor and family.
