Can you recommend which Saffola oil is better for a heart patient, especially after they've recently dealt with heart issues? I'm really worried and want to make sure I choose the best option for their health.

For heart health, Saffola Total Pro Heart Oil is a good option. It contains a blend of rice bran oil and safflower oil, which is rich in oryzanol and natural Vitamin E. The recommended dosage is 2-3 teaspoons per day for cooking purposes.
