yes, and in fact a low carb diet along with
20 to 30 min of Cardio a day is Most beneficial for ones heart.
Also, if you choose to drink, a glass of red wine is good for the heart as well. Statistics prove this. If one is an alcoholic, stay away from all alcohol.
Also one cup of coffee or tea a day is excellent for the heart also, as is a piece of chocolate. (It is the caffeine).

Haven't seen any studies where low carb diet is good or bad for the heart. But you don't need a low-carb diet. Just be aware of your eating habits and try to consume good carbs which have a lower glycemic index. If you're exercising you definitely need carbs to sustain your workout. Plus the brain pretty much functions on carbs, without them you may get a myriad of symptoms such as lightheadeness, fatigue, headaches, bad-attitude, etc. So read up on the glycemic index and do yourself a favor, don't deprive your body of one of the most important macronuturients.

I would imagine if it were low carb, low fat, low salt and sugar it would be., especially combined with exercise and plenty of water. I remain on this after losing 40kg and am fine. Just make sure your diet is balanced and you are getting sufficient vitamins and minerals.
