Summary

This study looked at whether a Mediterranean diet program could improve heart health in people who had a heart attack. 21 patients in cardiac rehab either got extra diet support or standard care for 12 weeks. Researchers checked blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and risk scores to see if the diet made a difference.
