Will A HCG Diet With An Artificial Valve And Pacemaker Be Risky?

I have an artificial aortic valve and a pacemaker. I am on 10mg of coumadin daily. I am 5'6" and 186 pounds but in good physical health as I mtn bike, hike, walk, and exercise regularly. I am considering going on the hCG diet to shead some unwanted pounds. Will that be unhealthy or a risk for me to do that?

I am not aware of any clinical trials or rigorous studies that support the hCG diet plan.Especially in patients with a artificial valve.You should review FDAs recommendation before choosing this plan.
