This acquired condition was likely reversible or preventable with a
raw, plant diet.

Why? Plenty of vegans have heart attacks.

The heart is a muscle, and if a vegan who eats food - be it cooked or
raw - that doesn't contain the essential amino acids, (incomplete or
partial proteins) they are just as likely to suffer from all of the
potential problems affecting muscle, including the heart. It is harder
to get full nutrition from an all plant diet than it is from a
conventional diet, something that a great many vegans seem blissfully
unaware of - or at least ignore.

From Wiki:

Sources of complete protein

Generally, proteins derived from animal foods (meats, fish, poultry,
cheese, eggs, yogurt, and milk) are complete, though gelatin is an
exception.[1] Proteins derived from plant foods (legumes, grains, and
vegetables) tend to be limited in essential amino acids. Some are
notably low, such as corn protein, which is low in lysine and tryptophan.[5]
Some foods contain all the essential amino acids on their own in a
sufficient amount to qualify as a "complete protein". Complete protein
foods that also obtain the highest possible PDCAAS score of 1.0 are
certain dairy products (including whey), egg whites, and soy protein
isolate. Other foods, such as amaranth, Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae[citation needed], buckwheat, hempseed, meat, poultry,
soybeans, quinoa, seafood, and spirulina also are complete protein
foods, but may not obtain a PDCAAS score of 1.0.[1][6]
