SAD that it has been 2 years since any other comments.
Suggest you peruse the internet for articles/videos from actual cardiologists on the subject

Thanks for bringing this topic back to the light. I've tried the Keto diet 5 or 6 years ago and decided it wasn't for me. I do try to keep my carb intake on the lower side and focus on eating healthier fats. If you have heart issues I definitely think you should discuss it with your doctor/cardiologist before trying it. I hadn't thought about that until you posted and went searching for some newer studies and found this study from the American College of Cardiology.

The study was referenced in this WebMD article that is probably an easier read:

Here is a paper, written by Mayo cardiologists, published in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37096158/
