Despite guideline consensus on the importance of nutrition for cardiovascular risk factors, the implementation of dietary interventions varies considerably across cardiac rehabilitation programs.

Should not yet change cardiac rehabilitation nutrition practice; leaves open standardization of dietitian-led interventions.
Standardized, individualized nutrition interventions led by registered dietitians are critical components of effective cardiac rehabilitation for secondary prevention.
Lara-Breitinger et al. (2021) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease requiring cardiac rehabilitation. Nutrition intervention was evaluated. Nutrition interventions in cardiac rehabilitation are integral for secondary prevention, but current literature is limited and standardization of practice remains in its infancy.
