Increased dietary exposure to choline, betaine, and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) predisposes cardiovascular disease patients to adverse cardiac events, such heart failure.
Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite produced by intestinal microbes, is associated with elevated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease risk.
High intake of polyunsaturated fat may lower the risk of developing coronary artery atherosclerosis in African green monkeys. This study evaluated the relationship between the consumption of monounsaturated, saturated, and polyunsaturated fat and coronary artery atherosclerosis development. Researchers fed 3 groups of African green monkeys with diets rich in saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. Atherosclerosis...
High consumption of diets rich in monounsaturated fats may impair endothelial function in healthy individuals.
High intake of sodium may increase the chances of dying from cardiovascular diseases.
Obesity and insulin resistance may promote the development of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction.
High-salt diets may impair endothelial function in healthy individuals.
High glycemic load is associated with elevated plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and high ischemic heart disease risk.
Plant-based diets are associated with reduced rate of cardiac events and symptom improvement in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
Medically supervised water-only fasting may be an effective treatment for borderline hypertension.
