Current Dietary NICE Guidance
SUPPLEMENTS:
Patients should be advised not to take supplements containing beta-carotene,
and should not be advised to take antioxidant supplements (vitamin E
and/or C) or folic acid to reduce cardiovascular risk
MEDITERRANEAN DIET:
Patients should be advised to eat a Mediterranean-style diet (more bread,
fruit, vegetables and fish; less meat; and replace butter and cheese with
products based on vegetable and plant oils)
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS:
Patients should be advised to consume at least 7 g of omega-3 fatty acids per
week from two to four portions of oily fish
For patients who have had an MI within 3 months and cannot achieve fish
intake, consider at least 1g of omega-3-acid ethyl esters treatment licensed
for secondary prevention post MI for up to 4 years. Initiation of omega-3-acid
ethyl esters supplement treatment is not routinely recommended in patients
that have had an MI more than 3 months earlier

Current NICE Guidance
ALCOHOL:
Patients who drink alcohol should be advised to keep weekly consumption to
within safe limits (no more that 21 units/wk for men and 14 units for
women) and to avoid binge drinking (>3 ETOH drinks in 1-2 hours)
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT:
After an MI, all patients who are overweight or obese should be offered advice
and support to advice and maintain a healthy weight in line with the
Obesity NICE guidance
LACK OF EVIDENCE AVAILABLE IN POST MI POPULATION FOR
Plant stanol and sterol esters
Low GI diets
Increase in fruit and vegetables in isolation
•In one trial advice to reduce saturated fat had no effect on mortality
•In one trial advice to increase in dietary fibre had no effect on mortality

Vitamin Supplements
• Patients should be advised not to take supplements containing
beta-carotene, and should not be advised to take antioxidant
supplements (vitamin E and/or C) or folic acid to reduce
cardiovascular risk.
Vitamin E alone vs. placebo: cardiovascular death

Cochrane Review 2008
Antioxidant Supplement for prevention of mortality in healthy
participants and patients with various diseases
Bjelakovic et al 2008
•Primary and secondary RCTs on antioxidant supps v’s placebo
•67 trials, 232,550 participants
•46 trials were secondary prevention
•Overall no effect on mortality – RR 1.02 95% CI (0.99-1.06)
•When individual supplements accessed – increased mortality for
Vitamin A, Vitamin E and beta carotene

transformation of "This
is a place where you'd
see people who lived
to 100, where people
were all fit and trim,"
Stagourakis said.
"Now you see kids
whose longevity is less
than their parents.'
That's really scaring
people."

Effect Of Dietary Counselling In Post-MI Patients
In CR
• 69 men, 29 women post MI
• Control – 30-60min talk &
handout by dietitian
• Intervention – talk plus 4 x 1hr
one to one sessions over 8wks
with partner
• 7 day diary at BL, 3 and 12
months
Improvement in intervention but
decline in control from baseline
Oily Fish – slight increase in intake
but <2portion/wk
Reflected in partner

Dietary Intake Of Omega-3 In Practical Terms
NICE recommended weekly intake of oily fish:
2-4 portions/week (based on DART I (1989))
NICE Guidance patient version states FSA portion size of
140g
SACN (2004) states 2–4 portions/week based on 140g
portion (depending on sex & gender maximum safety
portions per week)
UKHHTDSG 2nd revision (2006) states 2–3 portions/week
based on 150g portion size

Assessment of diet to see if achieving recommendation
Who should do this
When should this be done – 1st three months most important
As dietitians we would always recommend whole foods above
supplements
Problems with maintaining change
