It’s a well-accepted fact that diet plays a significant role in the development as well as prevention of cardiovascular disease, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. The typical U.S. diet results in a predisposition to obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia; all risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Fortunately, diet is a potentially reversible risk factor. As health care clinicians, its our responsibility to assess our patients’ diet and make recommendations for a healthy food intake to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. The topic for this podcast is nutrition and cardiovascular health and my guests include preventive cardiologist Stephen Kopecky, M.D., and registered dietician and nutritionist Tara Schmidt, both from the Mayo Clinic.
