If yes would you like more information on this, save the PDF for further conversation with your HCP.

When managing a chronic condition like heart disease, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables can help manage health factors that can influence change in your overall condition and health.

Explanation:

Many vegetables and fruit are particularly rich in vitamin C and in beta-carotene, which is a form of vitamin A. These work as antioxidants in your body, helping to slow down or prevent atherosclerosis by reducing the buildup of plaque from cholesterol and other substances in the arteries.

Cheri Rabble Rauser 6tSpoldnsohmredc · Shared with Your friends I had a consult with a new cardiologist today and am feeling disappointed and angry. I wouldn't allow this man to cut my toenails, let alone into my heart. I am 62 years old and have lived an active lifestyle since my early 20's. This person is into blaming patients for their atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. At least some patients. I was subjected to a 10 minute lecture about my weight in the form of being told I should practice intermittent fasting to control it. This guy was so thin he was a wafer and he told me he did this. Makes me wonder if he had an eating disorder. I despise all forms of body shaming. No one should be made to feel that they are not good enough based on someone else's bias. In medicine, for women anyhow, it doesn't matter our size, we are never good enough.. I watched my mother die (age 62) of congenital heart disease (diagnosed with an autopsy) and heard doctors malign her to her face. Just as I was today. My sister never regained her health after a massive coronary at age 53 and then was mistreated based on assumptions about her culpability in her illness. My grandmother died at age 32 of Grave's disease and my aunt was refused a pacemaker until her 80's, despite proof she needed one 20 years earlier. See a pattern here? My two brothers with heart conditions have never reported being blamed for their conditions and in one case received care before myself, diagnosed months earlier. And their doctors alway takes seriously the family history of congenital issues. Don't see this doctor if you have a uterus, cause no matter what size you are, he will find a reason to blame you. Moreover, he is a symptom of a greater problem in cardiac care, where women are classified as lifestyle cases and men are whipped off to the catheter lab for stenting or for electrophysiology, in order to resume their lifestyles. I fought for years for a diagnosis, then fought for several more for proper care. Fortunately my primary cardiologist now (after firing 1/2 dozen) is a man of integrity and luckily I don't need ablation at this point. But if I ever do again, I'll be finding someone who doesn't make assumptions about people based on biology or gender
