Abstract

Objective: Case report of a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy treated with Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT). Methods: A 70-years-old Korean male who was diagnosed with ischemic cardiomyopathy and experienced persistent symptoms despite taking statins. Results: After implementing a nutritional therapy, there have been improvements in blood cholesterol and red blood cell levels. Conclusion: Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) may contribute to the restoration of cardiovascular and renal function and improvement in cholesterol levels in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
