Can patients with coronary heart disease who have had stents implanted eat plums?
Disease description:
I have coronary heart disease and recently had a stent placed at the hospital. My doctor advised me to pay more attention to my diet. Can I eat prunes after having a stent implanted for coronary heart disease?
Patients with coronary heart disease who have received stents can eat plums, but since plums contain acidic substances, such patients should control their intake. It is important to avoid consuming too many at once, which could irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, trigger discomfort, and thereby affect recovery. Eating a moderate amount regularly can help supplement the body with essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and protein.
