Diet and coronary heart disease: advice on a cardioprotective diet.
Coronary heart disease is a major disease leading to early morbidity and mortality in the UK. The causes are multifactorial, a combination of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Although recent statistics show a reduction in the coronary heart disease mortality rate, the disease continues to be a major focus in health care, with strategies being developed to improve prevention and treatment. Dietary modification has a role to play in both primary and secondary prevention.
