ABSTRACT:
Cardiovascular diseases, including acute coronary syndrome, remain the main cause of mortality and a major cause of morbidity in Europe and worldwide. Also, in Romania, more than half of all registered deaths are cardiovascular deaths. Numerous modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors contribute to the incidence of cardiovascular illnesses. A general understanding of heart disease prevention is required in order to be able to modify and address the present circumstances. The role that nutrition plays in mitigating modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and the role that nutritional intervention plays in preventing inflammation linked to acute cardiac pathology will be the main topics of this article. The relationship between these two concepts is still poorly understood. Therefore, further research is necessary in this direction.
