Adherence to high dietary risk patterns (high DII score, high saturated fat/sodium, low fiber/omega-3) is significantly associated with increased odds of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE), stroke, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with angiocardiopathy.
For patients with angiocardiopathy, adopting a low-inflammatory diet (low DII score) is strongly associated with reduced risk of major cardiovascular events, stroke, and death. This involves increasing intake of fruits, vegetables, fiber, and omega-3s, while reducing saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. While this study is observational, the strong associations suggest that dietary optimization is a key component of managing cardiovascular risk in this population.
High dietary risk was significantly associated with MACE (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.81–3.83), stroke (OR 4.82, 95% CI 2.41–9.64), and cardiovascular mortality (OR 4.13, 95% CI 1.78–9.57).
Why this rating
Retrospective cross-sectional design with multivariable adjustment; strong statistical associations but observational nature limits causal inference.
