Question
I need full diet chart for heart patients.

Answer
I am not sure exactly what you are looking for.  If these are wrong please send a follow up, or maybe ask the doctor on the expert page as weight loss is my area of expertise.

The following is based on 2000 calories a day:
Total Fat 65 g
UN-Saturated fatty acids 20 g
Cholesterol 300 mg
Sodium 2400 mg
Potassium 4700 mg
Total carbohydrate 300 g
Fiber 25 g
Protein 50 g

For another example here is the Canada Food Guides recommendation for a woman who is 35.  
7-8 vegetables and fruit
6-7 grain products
2 milk and alternatives
2 meat and alternatives
30 - 45 mL (2 to 3 Tbsp) of unsaturated oils and fats

Thank you,
Lea
