This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares a Healthy Nordic Diet to standard dietary advice in people with coronary heart disease. The Healthy Nordic Diet is a plant-based eating pattern that includes vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and moderate amounts of fatty fish. Researchers want to see if this diet can slow the buildup of plaque in heart arteries better than usual care.
While diet is known to be important for heart health, doctors don't yet know if changing what you eat can actually slow the progression of artery disease in people who have already had a heart attack or have chronic heart disease. This trial will help answer that question.

You will be randomly assigned to either follow a Healthy Nordic Diet with dietary guidance and some provided foods, or to receive standard dietary advice from your cardiology team. You will participate for 18 months, during which researchers will use CT imaging to measure changes in your heart artery plaque. You'll also have blood tests and other assessments to monitor your heart health and risk factors.
