Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is still a major global source of morbidity and death and its effective preventive measures are necessary to combat CHD. With a focus on the Mediterranean, DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), and plant-based diets, this study investigates the relationship between dietary patterns and CHD risk. Research indicates that following a Mediterranean diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats can considerably lessen the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) by promoting endothelial function, decreasing inflammation, and optimizing lipid profiles. In a similar vein, the DASH diet, which places a strong emphasis on fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, and lean protein, has been shown to protect against coronary heart disease by regulating blood pressure and modulating cholesterol. Additionally, plant-based diet vegetarian and vegan diets, CHD prevention is by lowering cholesterol, oxidative stress, and inflammation. On the other hand, the consumption of processed foods, red meats, and saturated fats in Western diets increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) by inducing inflammation, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Dietary therapies and other lifestyle changes are essential for managing and preventing CHD. When dietary suggestions are personalized to each person's needs and tastes and are accompanied by behavioral support, adherence and long-term success are increased. In order to improve preventive measures and advance cardiovascular health, future studies should examine the synergistic impact of food patterns and other lifestyle factors on CHD risk reduction.
