Preferred term

heart disease and diet  

Definition

  • The relationship between diet and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been a topic of extensive research in clinical and epidemiological studies. In the past two decades, at least 20 prospective cohort studies have examined the relationship between dietary factors and risk of CHD. This entry briefly reviews epidemiological and clinical trial evidence regarding the role of specific dietary factors in the cause and prevention of CHD. Types of Dietary Fats The classic “diet-heart” hypothesis postulates that high intake of saturated fats and cholesterol and low intake of polyunsaturated fat increase the level of serum cholesterol, which leads to development of atheromatous plaques and eventually to myocardial infarction.
