What do you mean by heart healthy diet?

Egg whites, lean meats, etc? Strict whole food plant based?

Mediterranean but also I like a good beef dish occasionally, so mostly Mediterranean with the occasional filet or tacos de lingua or something.
The Mediterranean diet is something of a myth, some Mediterranean countries fair quite well on the life expectancy, CHD, and CVD figures, some not so much.

Additionally the data used are considered suspicious in the case of at least Italy to my recollection.
