[Why should vascular patients have a dietary assessment?].
Vascular diseases are a major health problem in Western countries. Coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) share many common risk factors such as age, smoking, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Although the dietary pattern is considered as a risk factor for CHD, the impact of dietary pattern on stroke and PAD is debated. However, new studies showed that dietary pattern could also be considered as a risk factor in stroke and PAD. Dietary pattern should be evaluated in vascular patients and new tools of dietary assessment must be developed for a better prevention of vascular disease.
