    She needs to see her cardiology dept and a dietitian

    Preferably, her cardiologist should refer her to a dietitian specialized in patients with cardiology problems.

    Where I live, doctors (unless they specialize in nutrition) get one 90min lecture on nutrition during their entier studies. It's safe to say that most doctors know diddly squat about nutrition and should really refrain from giving nutrition advice.
