“How long will I have to follow diet restrictions after heart stent surgery?”

After receiving a stent for coronary artery disease, it is advisable to modify your diet life-long. Doing so can reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke and need for additional stent procedures. A plant based whole food (not processed) diet is the healthiest choice. Not everyone can stick to a strict plant-based (Vegan) diet for life. So, I recommend trying to increase daily intake of vegetables, reduce animal products (specifically limiting beef & pork to 1-2 servings per month) and minimize eating fried foods. Be well.

As long as you have your heart!
