Nuts and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes: A Review of the Evidence and Future Directions
Nutrients. 2023 Feb 11;15(4):911. doi: 10.3390/nu15040911.ABSTRACTNuts are nutrient-rich foods that contain many bioactive compounds that are beneficial for cardiovascular health. Higher consumption of nuts has been associated with a reduced risk of several cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in prospective cohort studies, including a 19% and 25% lower risk of CVD incidence and mortality, respectively, and a 24% and 27% lower risk of coronary heart disease incidence and mortality, respectively. An 18% lower risk of stroke mortality, a 15% lower risk of atrial fibrillation, and a 19% lower risk of total mortality have also been o...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the most extensive systematic review of RCTs conducted to date to assess effects of increasing PUFA on cardiovascular disease, mortality, lipids or adiposity. Increasing PUFA intake probably slightly reduces risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease events, may slightly reduce risk of coronary heart disease mortality and stroke (though not ruling out harms), but has little or no effect on all-cause or cardiovascular disease mortality. The mechanism may be via TG reduction. PMID: 30484282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Consumption Reduces Risk of Atrial Fibrillation: The PREDIMED Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: In the absence of proven interventions for the primary prevention of atrial fibrillation, this post-hoc analysis of the PREDIMED trial suggests that extra-virgin olive oil in the context of a Mediterranean dietary pattern may reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation.
