dc.description.abstractCoronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. More than two-thirds of Americans suffer from chronic health conditions which can lead to coronary artery disease including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Proper nutrition and more specifically plant-based nutrition plays a very important role in overall health and well-being. It can effectively combat chronic conditions and assist in weight loss. Extensive research has demonstrated repeatedly that plant-based nutrition cannot only work as a management strategy, but even reverse these chronic diseases. It is a seemingly simple and effective preventative health strategy, but unfortunately many patients do not know the full health benefits of following a plant-based nutrition program, nor do most people consume plant-based diets. The purpose of this project is to evaluate if there is evidence to support plant-based nutrition educational program as a recommended program to promote benefits in the prevention of cardiovascular disease on the basis of implementing a plant-based nutrition program in a cardiology practice over an eight week period. This is a single group interrupted time-series non-experimental descriptive research study design with convenience sampling.en_US
