To determine whether adopting a traditional Mediterranean diet alters circulating biomarkers associated with heart failure risk among high-risk individuals.
Conducted a randomized sub-study within the PREDIMED trial involving individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
Compared changes in circulating biomarkers between participants assigned to a traditional Mediterranean diet (including supplementation with virgin olive oil) and those on a control low-fat diet.
Adoption of a traditional Mediterranean diet pattern decreased plasma levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide relative to a low-fat diet.
Intervention with the traditional Mediterranean diet supplemented with virgin olive oil lowered circulating concentrations of in vivo oxidized low-density lipoprotein and lipoprotein(a).
