Risks of ischaemic heart disease and stroke in meat eaters, fish eaters, and vegetarians over 18 years of follow-up: Results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study

You might want to have your doctor read and analyze the book, 'Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It' by  Garth Davis, M.D. and Howard Jacobson.  Your doctor needs to provide you with diet protocols for all these conditions:

For stroke prevention; for dementia prevention; for cognitive improvement; for cholesterol reduction; for plaque removal; for Parkinsons prevention; for inflammation reduction; for blood pressure reduction. 

THIS IS YOUR DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY! Why are you giving them a pass? Guidelines don't count.

Risks of ischaemic heart disease and stroke in meat eaters, fish eaters, and vegetarians over 18 years of follow-up: Results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study

BMJ — Tong TYN, Appleby PN, Bradbury KE, et al. | September 09, 2019

People with distinct dietary habits—meat eaters, fish eaters, and vegetarians (including vegans)—were examined in this study for the risks of both incident ischemic heart disease and stroke. In addition, researchers performed a separate assessment of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, over 18 years of follow-up. Among nearly 48,200 participants with no history of ischemic heart disease, stroke, or angina (or cardiovascular disease), 2,820 cases of ischemic heart disease and 1,072 cases of total stroke (519 ischemic stroke and 300 hemorrhagic stroke) were recorded over 18.1 years of follow-up. Overall, the incidence of ischemic heart disease was lower among fish eaters and vegetarians vs meat-eaters; however, higher rates of hemorrhagic and total stroke were observed among vegetarians.
