Eggs can be a part of a heart-healthy diet for a 50-year-old male when consumed in moderation. Here are some key points to consider:

Nutritional Benefits:
Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health.
Cholesterol Concerns:
While eggs contain cholesterol, recent research suggests that for most people, dietary cholesterol has a smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought.
Moderation is Key:
Eating up to one egg per day is generally considered safe for heart health in healthy individuals.
Individual Health Factors:
If you have existing heart disease, diabetes, or high cholesterol, it's best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.
Balanced Diet:
Incorporate eggs as part of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

If you have specific health conditions or concerns, discussing your diet with a healthcare provider or a dietitian can help tailor recommendations to your needs.

I'm dealing with CAD and recently found out from my CT Angio test that there's a 60-70% blockage in my LDA artery. I've been reading up on EECP and Bio Chemical Angioplasty online, and I've talked to some folks who've undergone EECP. I'm trying to figure out if it's actually effective. Also, do you know what medication is used in Bio Chemical Angioplasty? And once I've gone through it, how long can I expect the blockage to stay away?

Yes that procedure is good you can get it done if adviced no problem, recurrence would be on your lifestyle and diet pattern,maintain healthy lifestyle to avoid recurrence

What is a heart cough?

Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.
