Mediterranean diet tied to lowered heart attack, stroke risk in heart patients

(RxWiki News) In patients with coronary artery disease, the Mediterranean diet may reduce heart attack and stroke risk, a new study found.

This study, published recently in the European Heart Journal, looked at 15,482 patients with coronary artery disease from all over the world. The Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand, researchers behind this study found that patients who ate the highest proportion of Mediterranean diet foods were the least likely to have a stroke or heart attack over nearly four years.
