Q. Nutrient requirement during angina pectoris?

The nutrient requirement here is the same as discussed earlier, however, to sum up it can be said that we need to restrict calories from total fats (particularly saturated fats) and from simple carbohydrates; avoid glandular meats (rain, liver, kidneys etc.); use less salt in cooking and avoid salt sprinklers. Use a 'prudent' / DASH diet as explained under the hypertension section.

Let us move on to the next disorder, which is often referred to as the last stage in development of CAD i.e. myocardial infarction. It is an irreversible form of CAD and often results in decompensate changes in the structure and function of the heart.
