However, health care professionals may overlook, or even disregard, some these for several reasons, including inadequate training conflicting reports biomedical literature. This review provides a synopsis more than two-dozen nutritional approaches to primary secondary prevention therapy CVD. Favorable effects have been reported with use unsaturated fatty acids, vegetarian semi-vegetarian diets, dietary fiber, plant sterols, alcoholic beverages, vitamins (niacin, E, C, B6, B12, folate), minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, selenium), conditionally-essential nutrients (coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, taurine) botanical agents (garlic, hawthorn, gugulipid). In contrast, trans-fatty oxysterols, homocysteinemia, carbohydrate intolerance, excessive sodium chloride iron associated undesirable effects. A approach CVD pivotal adjuvant traditional pharmaceutical and/or surgical interventions by maximizing likelihood success decreasing morbidity mortality minimizing economic social costs this disease.
