Patients with stable cardiac illness can fast during Ramadan, provided they comply with the recommended dietary and medication regimens.
Patients with angina or chest pain and old myocardial infraction or heart attack who are able to perform normal activities can observe the fast as well.
However, they should reduce their physical activity during the month.
Fasting is helpful in patients with ischemic heart disease associated with diabetes, overweight & dyslipidemia.
But those who have had recent heart attack should not fast.
