Indication: Coronary artery disease (CAD)

(1):94-101.

Research: The aim of the study was to examine the association between intakes of total fiber and fiber from different dietary sources and progression of coronary-artery atherosclerosis among women with established coronary artery disease (CAD). The study involved 229 postmenopausal women participating in the Estrogen Replacement and Atherosclerosis trial. Usual fiber intake was estimated at baseline using a food frequency questionnaire.

Results: Women who consumed more than 3 grams of cereal fiber or more than 6 servings of whole grains per week over a three-year period showed modestly smaller declines in coronary artery blockage compared to women with lower intakes of fiber per week. Importantly, researchers noted that the differences in disease progression were similar to those seen in patients using cholesterol-lowering drugs.
