Patient's question:
My uncle is a patient with coronary heart disease. He likes to drink milk very much. Can he drink milk? What kind of milk is good for coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Your uncle suffers from coronary heart disease, with the sound indicating poor blood supply to the heart. The coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart have atherosclerotic plaques, which cause vessel stenosis. The plaques are formed due to the deposition of cholesterol in the blood on the vessel walls. Milk is nutritious and can be consumed, but it is best to drink skim milk to prevent elevated blood lipids. Take heart-stabilizing medication regularly, undergo regular medical check-ups, rest well, and avoid smoking and drinking beer.
