Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a carefully planned plant-based diet can help people with coronary artery disease feel better and improve their heart function. You would eat only raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, and certain grains—no animal products, oils, or processed foods—for 6 weeks while researchers monitor your heart rhythm and measure changes in your blood work.
Many heart disease patients are looking for lifestyle changes that might reduce their symptoms and improve their heart health beyond medications alone. This trial will help doctors understand whether a plant-based diet can actually make a measurable difference in heart rhythm and other markers of heart disease.
You would come to the clinic for a baseline visit, then wear a small heart monitor patch for 2 weeks before starting the diet. For the next 6 weeks, all your meals would be provided by the research team—you'd eat only plant-based foods and can eat as much as you want within the diet rules. You'll have brief check-in calls or visits each week, and wear another heart monitor for 2 weeks after the diet ends. Blood work and dietary records will be collected to track any changes in your health.
