HEy guys,
just thought i would ask this here since you guys are pretty knowledged about heart issues etc.
I have been going to the cardiologist since feb 2016 every 3-6 months.
After my last visit, it suddenly hit me that ive always been to the cardiologist in cutting phases and always after at least 3 days of low carb (<60g a day)
In the last few weeks i have observed something interesting:
day 1 and day 2 after my carb load (i diet 4 days low 1 day high carb, around 750-800g for that day, other macros reduced) i can get my heart rate pretty easy to 120-130 with medium intensity cardio.
On day 3 and day 4, it gets harder and harder. ON day 4 and the workout before refeeding on day 5, i can barely bring my heart rate over 100 via cardio with the same intensity i use on day 1 and day 2.
So now my question:
Will this "issue" (being depleted and underfed) result in more dramatic negative outcomes for ejection fraction than it really is? Because obviously, the heart is a muscle that also relies on glucose in some ways (as seen above i guess?).
thanks guys!!
