1 Answer
The crucial thing for most people with coronary artery disease that causes heart attack is control of your serum cholesterol levels and especially the bad cholesterol or LDL. Diets that are extremely low in both refined carbohydrate and saturated fat can help to lower cholesterol levels. As I sometimes tell my patients the closer you get to eating like a rabbit the better your lipids. In addition to diet obviously certain medications can be extremely effective in lowering cholesterol. The most commonly use medications are the statins.
