Eagle’s Eye View: High Carb Plus Fiber-Rich Foods Equals Better Cardiac Structure
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the PREVENT model and its ability to predict ten-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in diverse populations. He then discusses higher carbohydrate quality and fiber-rich foods and their links to better cardiac structure and function. Finally, Dr. Eagle explores increased use of radial access for percutaneous coronary intervention to achieve lower complication rates.
