Finding a Heart Healthy Diet Online or a good Book Source?

I am 40 years old, work out, and try to watch what I eat, but last Monday, I had a heart attack. I found that I have the vascular disease that causes me to have high levels of LDL Cholesteral, which causes me to have plaque built up on my arteries. Apparently I have normal arterial blockage for my age, but a piece of plague broke loose and turned 30% into 90% and a heart attack. Now I am on my way to recovery and on several medications to help with my cholesteral, plague sticking to my arteries, and the normal stuff for a heart patient. I am wanting to know where I go to find diet ideas for a heart healthy diet. I have already began to look at the labels on food and they are confusing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It can be very confusing. Two recommendations I have:
One, talk to a Dietician or Nutritionist. They can be very helpful with things like this. Your doctor can refer you.
Two, look at cook books in a major bookstore. They have ones regarding cholesterol diets. You can easily call your local Heart and Stoke Foundation and ask for some recipes or books. They should be able to help you.
