title: The role of diet in coronary heart disease.
abstract: The causal factors of CHD are numerous, with diet playing a significant role in progression. As CHD is a chronic, progressive disease, a preventive rather than a palliative approach is indicated. Although health promotion initiatives pledge support for a preventive approach, resources have not followed government rhetoric. Research suggests nurses' knowledge of the dietary factors involved in CHD is poor.
