You survived a heart attack. Nobody explained what comes next.

What this page will cover

Food, medication, and recovery — properly explained.

Your post-MI medications

What aspirin, statins, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and P2Y12 agents actually do — and what to expect from each.

What to eat after a heart attack

The evidence for Mediterranean diet, saturated fat, protein, and body composition after a cardiac event — not generic healthy eating advice.

Statin side effects

Muscle symptoms, fatigue, and what the options are if your current statin isn't well tolerated.

Exercise and cardiac rehab

What the evidence says about resistance training, aerobic exercise, and the timeline for returning to full activity.

The fasting question

What the evidence says about intermittent fasting after a cardiac event — including the INTERFAST-MI study.

What to ask your cardiologist

The investigations and conversations worth having at your follow-up — LDL targets, ApoB, HbA1c, and cardiac rehab status.
