ABSTRACT
@#This 63 year old, heavy drinker, previous smoker man, was physically active, a community leader and with good sleeping habits. His diet processed foods and drinks, meat, poultry products; minimal fruits and vegetables added about a year earlier. Two weeks prior, after drinking alcohol, he experienced progressive difficulty of breathing on physical exertion, relieved by rest. The night before the incident he had a drinking spree. Early morning, he had severe shortness of breath, difficulty of breathing and chest heaviness. He was rushed to the nearby hospital, was admitted at the ICU with the diagnosis of Ischemic Heart Disease with Myocardial Infarction, and, Type 2 Diabetes. The diagnosis was sustained and the management continued upon transfer to a better-equipped hospital. Strict nutritional prescription was introduced and early ambulation started while still in the hospital. His medications were steeply tapered off while lifestyle modification intensified. His progress was extraordinary. This case exemplified the havoc of heavy alcohol drinking, and, its uneventful cold turkey abstinence; favored early ambulation post myocardial infarction, and showed the independence of each CVD risk factor. Is intensive Lifestyle Modification safe and beneficial even in morbid situations?
