Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Prognosis in Older Patients Scheduled to Undergo Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been associated with prolonged survival in older individuals. However, it is unknown whether adherence to MedDiet is associated with the prognosis in older patients scheduled to undergo cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between adherence to the MedDiet and clinical outcomes at 12 months follow-up after CRT implantation in older patients.
