Dr. Atkins was Obese & Had a History of Heart Attacks and High Blood Pressure

Dr. Robert Atkins' final medical report (by the Chief Medical Examiner of New York,) revealed that Dr. Atkins had a history of "MI" 'miocardial infarction, that is, heart attacks] and CHF 'congestive heart failure] as well as HTN 'hypertension--high blood pressure.]

Dr. Stuart Trager, chairman of the Atkins Medical Council, demurred.

Dr. Eric Topol, chairman of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, was quoted by The Wall Street Journal* as saying, "severe heart failure much more frequently results from heart attacks caused by clogged arteries than from viruses or infections."

In 2002, Dr. Atkins suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and was revived. His organization, according to The Journal, then disclosed details about his bout with cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle.

"Indeed," the Atkins doctors group now admits, that "in the last years of his life, Dr. Atkins had a very weak heart. They revealed that his measure of his heart's pumping action 'was] characteristic of some heart transplants."
