National Guidance5.3.2-Clinical effectiveness of low fat diets for the primary prevention of CVDNo randomised controlled trials were identified in people at high risk of CVD that examined the effectiveness of low fat diet versus no change in diet for the outcomes of all cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality or cardiovascular morbidity.One randomised controlled trial in patients with angina found that advice to eat oily fish or take omega 3 fatty acid supplements was not associated with a reduction all cause mortality or cardiac death

National Guidance
We could not find any evidence that low fat diets make any difference in primary prevention
![Page 43: Vague Presentations John Lord. In Pairs Discuss and write down the types of vague illness or vague presentations that confuse you or irritate or annoy](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516121f55034694308b5375/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
National Guidance
5.3.4-Clinical effectiveness of low fat diets for the secondary prevention of CVD
One randomised controlled trial was identified in patients with a history of CVD that compared advice to adopt a low fat diet with no dietary advice (Watts, G. F. et al , 1992).
Lipid–lowering diet did not confer any benefit over usual care for the outcomes of cardiovascular death, MI, coronary surgery, angioplasty or stroke
![Page 44: Vague Presentations John Lord. In Pairs Discuss and write down the types of vague illness or vague presentations that confuse you or irritate or annoy](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516121f55034694308b5375/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
National Guidance
We could not find any evidence that low fat diets make any difference in primary prevention
or for that matter in secondary prevention
![Page 45: Vague Presentations John Lord. In Pairs Discuss and write down the types of vague illness or vague presentations that confuse you or irritate or annoy](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516121f55034694308b5375/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
National Guidance
it was decided by the GDG that recommendations made in the Joint British Societies' guidelines on prevention of CVD in clinical practice (Wood, D. et al , 2005) would be adopted
(total fat intake should be ≤ 30% of total energy intake and saturated fats should comprise ≤ 10% of total energy intake).
![Page 46: Vague Presentations John Lord. In Pairs Discuss and write down the types of vague illness or vague presentations that confuse you or irritate or annoy](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516121f55034694308b5375/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
National Guidance
We could not find any evidence that low fat diets make any difference in primary prevention
or for that matter in secondary prevention
in fact with no evidence at all we are going to perpetuate the myth from previous guidelines (who’s writers also could not find any evidence)

National Guidance
5.3.6-Clinical effectiveness of increased fruit and vegetables diet for the primary prevention of CVD
No randomised controlled trials were identified that compared increased fruit and vegetables diet with usual diet in people at high risk of CVD.
![Page 48: Vague Presentations John Lord. In Pairs Discuss and write down the types of vague illness or vague presentations that confuse you or irritate or annoy](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5516121f55034694308b5375/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
National Guidance
Only one randomised controlled trial found on the effectiveness of an increased fruit and vegetables diet in patients with angina (Burr, M. et al , 2003).
Advice to increase consumption of fruit and vegetables was found to be poorly complied with and the advice did not confer any benefit on mortality (all deaths, cardiac deaths and sudden deaths).
