Can patients with coronary heart disease eat beef?

Patient's question:

My mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with coronary heart disease after a thorough examination. She was told to pay attention to her diet. However, today when my younger brother-in-law came to visit, he brought a lot of beef. Is it okay to eat?

Doctor's answer:

The diagnosis of coronary heart disease is a very serious heart condition. Coronary angiography is necessary to make a clear diagnosis and assess the severity of the disease. If the coronary artery stenosis is less than 70%, coronary stent treatment is required to stabilize the condition. Otherwise, medication treatment can be adopted. A low-salt, low-fat diet is necessary, and it is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits, beef, and lamb. Minimal food intake is ineffective.
