Management of all types and grades of angina includes the use of lifestyle modification to reduce risk factors. Which of these modifications are appropriate for which reason?
Both the modification and the reason for it must be true for the answer to be correct.
1. Lose at least 10 pounds of body weight. Excessive weight increases cardiac workload.
2. Reduce sodium intake to no more than 2,400 mg of sodium. Sodium increases blood volume and cardiac workload.
3. Increase potassium intake to at least 100 mEq/d. The heart needs higher levels of potassium to improve contractility and oxygen supply.
4. Intake a moderate amount of alcohol. Moderate intake has been shown by research to improve cardiac function.
