Patients with heart disease should generally avoid foods high in cholesterol. Consuming high-cholesterol foods during heart disease may lead to increased blood lipid levels, potentially triggering a heart attack and worsening the condition. Therefore, patients should follow a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and maintain a low-salt, low-fat eating plan while managing heart disease.
