Points
- It is difficult to pinpoint exactly which carbohydrates, such as whole grains, lower the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, in massive epidemiological studies, eating whole grains has frequently been linked to healthier lives and better coronary heart disease outcomes.
- Varying outcomes have been found in controlled trials examining how grains affect coronary artery disease biomarkers.
- In order to investigate new trends, scientifically proven tactics, and current best practices for the avoidance and treatment of cardiovascular disease, the ACC Middle East 2022 conference, which will be held in Dubai from October 7 to 11, will bring together cardiovascular care teams from the Middle East and international cardiovascular experts.
Summary
As per the investigation shown during ACC Middle East 2022, elevated consumption of refined grains may be linked to an increased likelihood of untimely coronary artery disease, whereas eating whole grains could be related to a decreased risk.
The trial involved 2,099 patients having juvenile CAD from clinics with angiography labs in various towns and ethnic groups across Iran (women over seventy years and males below sixty). The case group consisted of 1369 participants with coronary artery disease who had blockage equal to or greater than 75% in at least one coronary artery or less than 50% in the left main coronary artery. In contrast, 1168 patients with normal coronary arteries made up the control group.
In order to analyze dietary habits and determine the relationship between whole grain and refined grain intake and the likelihood of developing early coronary artery disease in people without a history of cardiovascular disease, subjects completed a food frequency questionnaire. After controlling for variables, a greater consumption of refined grains was linked to a higher risk of developing early coronary artery disease. In contrast, a higher intake of whole grains was inversely linked to a lower risk of developing premature CAD.
We must discover methods to motivate and inform people about the advantages of whole grain intake since more research shows that the intake of refined grains is rising internationally and that this affects general health. The general people may be educated about better dietary preferences in institutions and other crowded locations, as well as through television programs, and by continuing to do top-notch research that is presented at healthcare conferences and documented in clinical publications. These dialogues between professionals and their clients must also occur.
