Would gave thought plant based but any diet shd be really run past ur doctor organic- Mediterranean Less processed meats and food and you can’t go too wrong :-)
I so hope this person can be operated on. It is not as evasive as it was when my Dad had it done 30 yrs ago. He had it done at 65 and again at 67 when the Dacron one malfuntioned and so a Pig Valve was put in. The person may need to take blood thinners which means no Vitamin K. You can look up the effects of Vitamin K to blood thinners and foods with Vitamin K in them. Mediterranean diet is good for the heart but dark leafy vegetables have Vitamin K in them.
Katz, my dad's dr referred him to a dietician that spent over 2 and a half hours helping him with a diet for his CHF and Kidney problems, best time spent learning how to feed him. Ask your doctor for a referral.
Katz52, Ask her cardiologist to make a referral to a nutritionist who can tailor her diet based on comorbidity as well as her heart. Her health insurance should cover. Give them a call.

organic- Mediterranean
Less processed meats and food
and you can’t go too wrong :-)
It's a mechanical problem, but it won't hurt to eat an improved diet, like Mediterranean.
"The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends the following foods as the foundation of a heart-healthy eating plan:
- Vegetables such as leafy greens (spinach, collard greens, kale, cabbage), broccoli, and carrots
- Fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, pears, grapes, and prunes
- Whole grains such as plain oatmeal, brown rice, and whole-grain bread or tortillas
- Fat-free or low-fat dairy foods like milk, cheese, or yogurt
- Protein-rich foods including salmon, tuna, and trout, lean meats, eggs, nuts, seeds, soy products and legumes "
