Cardiovascular Disease Prevention by Diet Modification

Abstract: Reduction in excess calories and improvement in dietary composition may prevent many primary and secondary cardiovascular events. Current guidelines recommend diets high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes; moderate in low-fat dairy and seafood; and low in processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, refined grains, and sodium.

“…In Europe, CVD is responsible for approximately 3.9 million deaths annually and generates enormous medical costs [1,2]. It is of particular and pressing interest to implement effective primary and secondary prevention strategies that include smoking cessation, increase in physical activity, and weight and diet optimization [3][4][5]. It has also been established that a reduction in platelet aggregation would lead to a significant decrease in the risk of myocardial infarction and the total number of cardiovascular events [6,7].…”

“…Optimum nutrition is a key factor determining an ability to work, life expectancy and preservation of the nation's gene pool. Moreover, the determination of appropriate dietary strategies for the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is a complex urgent problem [1][2][3][4][5]. Currently, in all developed countries issues of healthy nutrition are a part of the policy.…”

“…Clinical screening for metabolic risk factors and promoting strategies for behavior modification in concert with pharmacotherapy where appropriate, are key strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention 12,13 . Cardiovascular disease specialists are uniquely positioned to systematically assess modifiable risk factors via patient-reported outcomes and intervene to improve clinical outcomes 14 .…”
