The myocardium is the heart muscle responsible for the contraction and expansion of the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
Maintaining the health of the myocardium plays an important role in the overall condition of the cardiovascular system.
On a keto diet, carbohydrate consumption is reduced, leading to ketosis, which in turn can have a positive impact on the myocardium. This is because reducing carbohydrate levels helps reduce inflammation and improve metabolism in cardiac tissue.
