Hi there mntnear,

I'm sorry to read of your CAD (coronary artery disease) and I hope you have fully recovered from the stenting procedure.

You do realise that CAD takes years to develop I hope? Being on a low carb diet of any kind cannot cause CAD, in fact it will help to delay progression of the disease. Remember that Dr Atkins is actually a cardiologist, and is not going to recommend an eating regimen that causes CAD.

Have a look at this old thread where a member with a history of coronary bypass grafting discusses the improvement in his health with low carb. I hope you find it reassuring.

All the very best to you!
