NCT04078919

Brief Summary

Accumulating evidence from prospective observational studies and a large clinical trial suggests that nut intake lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Tree nuts are rich in unsaturated fats, soluble fiber, antioxidants, and phytosterols. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of low calorie diets with a mixture of nuts in comparison with low calorie diets in improving inflammatory markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
