Purpose of Review

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease despite good medical therapy is on the rise, driven by risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity. As healthcare providers, we must seek to better advise patients on preventative strategies through lifestyle changes.

Recent Findings

Guideline recommendations have been published by professional societies on the prevention of heart disease through lifestyle changes; however, limited education and experience with these lifestyle-modifying methods hinders appropriate counseling and treatment of patients.

Summary

Robust data support the use of lifestyle medicine to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and risk. These include, a more plant-based whole food diet, regular exercise, stress relief, connectedness, and other lifestyle approaches. This review will help further the understanding of the front-line clinician in cardiovascular prevention.

预防和逆转当今心血管患者的发病率：生活方式改变和营养在当今时代的作用

审查目的

在高血压、糖尿病、高胆固醇血症和肥胖症等危险因素的推动下，尽管有良好的药物治疗，心血管疾病的患病率仍在上升。作为医疗保健提供者，我们必须设法通过改变生活方式为患者提供更好的预防策略建议。

最近的发现

专业协会已经发布了通过改变生活方式来预防心脏病的指南建议；然而，对这些改变生活方式的方法的教育和经验有限，阻碍了对患者的适当咨询和治疗。

概括

可靠的数据支持使用生活方式药物来降低心血管发病率和风险。其中包括更多以植物为基础的全食饮食、定期锻炼、缓解压力、建立联系和其他生活方式。本综述将有助于进一步了解心血管预防一线临床医生。
