This session covers:

  • Current clinical guidelines for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention
  • The role of low carbohydrate diets alongside other more conventional cardioprotective diets for CVD prevention
  • Strengths and limitations of macronutrient vs whole foods diet patterns in CVD prevention
  • How to evaluate data from case reports and confidently discuss the results in the context of the wider literature
