Brief Answer:
Juicing

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.

You are concerned about juicing and if it may affect your heart condition. the only heart condition that juicing maybe a problem is if you are taking warfarin or coumadin for atrial fibrillation. the high amounts of vegetables and XXXXXXX will have high vitamin K and may counter act the warfarin. If you are on warfarin you can continue to juice but I would recommend that you get more periodical monitoring of you protimes so the medical provider can readjust your warfarin dose. Otherwise there are no reasons why you can not continue juicing

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
