A 60 year female, with history of diabetes, hypertension had chest pain regularly for three to four days, with NT pro-BNP 168.3
NT pro BNP was above the chronic heart failure cut off.
Assessing the risk involved, it was important to get NT pro BNP normal. Worried about the consequences, they approached me.
She was asked to follow low salt low fat diet, but what she followed was dlife LCHF protocol 20:20:60 with lemon salt water being one of her constants. Her diet had good amount of animal fat.
Chest pain had disappeared by then, sleep improved, started walking going out to grocery shop near by.
The diet continued, without any break.
A blood test was done on July 31st, NT – pro BNP was 16.27, a massive 90% reduction, which was a better outcome, reduced risk of mortality, improved heart muscles, reduced stress on heart muscle, the value was very much below heart failure cut off.
For a type 2 diabetic patient, with hypertension, this was a big relief. All this under dlife LCHF , literally no gym no aerobic exercises.
HbAic also reduced to 7.5.
Meds reduced only to metformin.
No chest pain episodes. Mainly the trauma, had gone
