I believe in the building power of ketones. I can post several links showing why ketones are so important to the human body and can help strengthen your heart. Also, keeping your blood glucose stable is what will stabilize your cholesterol levels. The inflammatory nature of carbohydrates which is the central cause of heart disease, will be eliminated. Glucagon is a partner hormone to insulin that is produced by the pancreas and prevents glucose from dropping to low. It also enhances lipolysis or ketosis. Lipolysis is the process that burns fats and ketosis is the result of that process. In other words ketones are the result or ashes of burnt fats. As the body becomes adapted to the increased amount of ketones, it will begin to use the ketones as energy. Now all of that being said, make sure that you are also aware of possible deficiencies such as vitamin D and magnesium deficiency and get those to optimal levels.
