Heart Problems
9 Answers
Are there any heart problems/disease, that warrant having to have a special diet?
That is, must any foods be banned from your diet, IE: gluten free, or no eggs, or dairy, or potatoes, etc.
Apart from the health aspects most people can derive from cutting down on some foods, (perhaps especially heart patients) would any heart problem be exacerbated or fatal by eating certain foods?

richard has covered the main food things
cholesterol tends to go hand in hand with heart problems/stroke etc (and don't forget they are all the same thing - lumps of stuff that block your arteries and kill the surrounding tissue
don't forget about stopping smoking
and a small glass of red wine a day is supposed to be good for you (my specialist "ordered" me to hit the bottle)
some things hinder - or amplify drugs as well
brassicas (brussels etc), grapefruit will hinder your cholesterol tabs
garlic, cranberries alcohol etc amplify the effects of warfarin
if you're just wondering google and the NHS site are good
if you've had a chest tightener - you should have had a session with the pharmacist and dietitian to tell you what's relevant to you
and angina is more likely to hit when it's cool/cold, damp and windy

This woman has Munchausen's I swear!
She's 60 & only in the last month has had........
1: Whooping Cough
2: Pneumonia (double)
3: Rumbling appendicitis
4: Pleurisy
All non hospital or needing anti-biotics or any sort of medication. Her doctor is wise to her. She always gets better from just staying in bed.
