WLAD says the road to heart attack recovery is a walk, not jog
A heart attack is a life-
threatening event, and those
who are lucky enough to sur-
vive this encounter, sometimes
face a long and arduous recov-
ery process.
Even though the patient may
start feeling better within a few
weeks, its imperative they
avoid pushing themselves too
soon. Not gradually easing
back into a normal routine may
be a setup for relapse.
Florence-area
resident
Denise Straws suffered a heart
attack in 2006 and faced a long
and sometimes difficult recov-
ery.
“I took a class a cardiac
class to teach me exercise is
not going to hurt my heart, it
needs to exercise to get better
— got to keep it working or it
will get atrophied,” said
Straws. “I got up and began to
walk daily. After getting to feel
better, I started doing light aer-
obics.”
Any form of exercise that
gets the blood pumping is ben-
eficial. Some examples include
swimming, bicycling, walking
or jogging at a moderate rate.
Peace Harbor Medical
Center Physician Mohamad
Sabbah M.D. suggests a physi-
cal therapy program.
“It’s important to begin an
physical therapy program. The
type of program to consider
depends on how sick the
patient is,” said Sabbah. “For
example, in the Florence area,
walking on the sand may be a
great activity.”
Eating right is simply a must
to prevent further heart attack
occurrences. Avoid trans-fats
and saturated fats whenever
possible because these fats
directly contribute to plaque
formation in the arteries.
Instead, eat fats that come from
plant sources such as olive oil
or nuts. Eating too many calo-
ries and being overweight can
also strain the heart, so it’s
essential to control weight by
eating a balance of plant foods,
lean meats and low fat dairy
products.

cookbook for meal recipes and
offers other suggestions that
has helped her stay healthy.
“It offers lots of different
veggies and how to cook dif-
ferent ways, such as not frying
eggs in butter oil,” said
Straws. “Eat Yukon gold and
red potatoes. Make better food
choices and be very aware of
portion sizes. Also, eat lots of
lentils and flaxseeds.”
Dr. Sabbah strongly sug-
gests entering a cardio respira-
tory rehabilitation program.
These programs are run by
doctors and other medical pro-
fessionals and are designed to
monitor patient condition and
recovery process after a heart
attack.
“This is important in revers-
ing risk factors such as high
cholesterol and high blood
pressure,”
Sabbah
said.
“Blood pressure should be
lower than 140/90 and blood
cholesterol under 180 mg/dl.”
Other important risk factors
to control include: a waist cir-
cumference lower than 35
inches for women and 40 and
under for men; body mass
index (BMI) between 18.5 and
24.9; and blood glucose under
100 mg/dl during times or nor-
mal fasting.
Lastly, one of the most
important risk factors to avoid
is cigarette smoking. Period.
According to Dr. Sabbah, the
advice is simple:
“Stop smoking,” he said.
