Patients with rheumatic heart disease can usually consume ginkgo nuts. Ginkgo nuts are rich in vitamins, high dietary fiber, and minerals, which can promote blood circulation throughout the body. Eating them in moderation helps supplement essential nutrients the body needs and does not adversely affect the condition. In addition to ginkgo nuts, patients should also eat other fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure adequate nutrient intake, which is beneficial for recovery.
