[|Human|] hello, my father had a heart condition and passed away about a month ago. at the time of his passing, he was using an abdominal toner. do you think that it could be related to his death? he was an impatient three weeks previous to his passing and doctors said his heart was only working at about 18%.
[|AI|]  Hello, Abdominal toner should be avoided in heart patients as by increasing the abdominal pressure they tend to act in 2 ways 1) Increase the venous return to the heart making it difficult for a weak heart to handle the increased blood return, leading to congestion in the lungs and breathlessness2) More importantly it increases after load. I.e. The pressure again which the heart has to work leading to decompensation of a weak heart. So with the heart pumping your father had (18%), its most wise to avoid abdominal toner.
