- Abstract
The leading cause of mortality in the world in 2019 is attributed to cardiovascular disease by estimation of owning 32.2% of all-cause deaths. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of chronic disorders that interfere with the normal function of the heart and blood vessels. Among primary and secondary prevention pathways for CVD and complex interventions of cardiac rehabilitation, nutritional intake of the individual is of high importance. Evidence suggests that dietary components such as whole grains, fiber, tomato, egg, red meat, cholesterol, and salt may play a role in accelerating or decelerating the process of developing CVD. For instance, a higher ratio of plant protein to animal protein in the diet is associated with reduced cardiac death which could be as a result of less intake of cholesterol. Evidence suggests that not only low intakes of fruit and vegetables are significantly correlated with a higher risk for ischemic heart disease, but consumption of 3 servings of vegetables per day can also lower the risk of CVD. Hence, having multiple factors in the diet that have a compound effect on cardiovascular health makes it pivotal to study the effect of dietary intake as a whole on cardiovascular health. Results from studies that have investigated the diet from a more thorough perspective indicate that among dietary patterns, the Mediterranean diet has a better chance of decreasing the likelihood of CVD rather than balanced diet or traditional diet which have shown contradictory findings.
