Patient's question:
The baby's grandmother suddenly felt very severe palpitations and rapid heartbeat yesterday, sitting on the bed afraid to move, feeling as if she were having difficulty breathing. The family took her to a pet hospital for a thorough examination. After the doctor completed the examination, the result was that the baby's grandmother had coronary heart disease, and it had been going on for a while, but she hadn't noticed it. The doctor advised a light diet and to eat less high-fat foods. What should people with coronary heart disease not eat?Doctor's answer:
Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is a type of heart disease caused by the ischemia of the myocardium (angina pectoris) or myocardial necrosis (myocardial infarction) due to the stenosis or obstruction of the coronary arteries (atherosclerosis or dynamic vasospasm). It is also known as ischemic heart disease. Consuming more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, such as spinach, garlic, potatoes, and mushrooms, can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Black fungus and apples can also help lower blood pressure. It is advisable to consume more plant protein, such as beans and bean products, which can aid in the excretion of bile acids and increase cholesterol synthesis.
