Abstract EN
A 60-year-old man presented with typical angina and had a positive stress test.
He declined both drug therapy and invasive testing.
Instead, he chose to adopt a whole-food plant-based diet, which consisted primarily of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, potatoes, beans, legumes, and nuts.
His symptoms improved rapidly, as well as his weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
Plant-based diets have been associated with improved plasma lipids, diabetes control, coronary artery disease and with a reduction in mortality.
Adoption of this form of lifestyle therapy should be among the first recommendations for patients with atherosclerosis.
