Despite having a heart attack that many people go directly to the fast food, says a new study, eat you at least once a week.

And in the hospital, more than 30% of the study participants reported to eat fast food once or more each week during the month before his heart attack.

Fast food contains high levels of fat and sodium. The clinic may recommend limiting saturated fat and salt to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Published in the American Journal of Cardiology, researchers surveyed 2,500 patients of heart attack and found 36 per cent (884 participants in the study) admitted to eat fast food frequently in the month before his heart attack. Scientists considered "frequently" once a week or more.

After a six-month follow-up, the scientists found 503 people returned to eat fast food every week; younger patients, men, and people least education were the most likely to go back to their habits of fast food. But in general rapid decline among patients of heart attack at the consumption of food, especially older patients and people who had bypass surgery.

And educate patients of heart attack had a profound effect on their choice of food. People who have received advice from nutrition - 9 of every 10 patients - still ate fast food frequently. By what the researchers are asking for better education before patients leave the hospital.
