    abstract = {The impact of different nutritional regimens on long-term 
  prognosis and outcome in diabetic patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) 
  is questioned. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects 
  of different nutritional components of Mediterranean regimen on long-term cardiovascular 
  events in diabetic patients with CAD in Iranian population. In a prospective 
  cohort study, researchers recruited 233 consecutive patients with the diagnosis 
  of type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least 6 months with documented CAD. Nutritional 
  assessment was obtained by a validated semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire 
  (FFQ) and the diet score was calculated on the basis of Mediterranean Diet Quality 
  Index (Med-DQI). For assessing long-term CAD prognosis, the patients were followed 
  by telephone for 1 year. The study endpoint was long-term MACCE (defined as 
  occurrence of one of these morbidities including death, non-fatal myocardial 
  infarction or need to revascularization). About 1 year death was revealed in 
  19 (8.2%). The 2 patients (0.9%) suffered non-fatal myocardial infarction and 
  14 (6.0%) needed to revascularization within 1 year after discharge from hospital. 
  Overall, 1 year MACCE in study population was 12.4%. There were significant 
  relationships between death rate and dietary scores of saturated fatty acid, 
  cholesterol, meats, fish and fruit and vegetables. Also, significant relationships 
  were found between MACCE rate and dietary scores of saturated fatty acid, cholesterol 
  and fruit and vegetables. Mediterranean dietary regimens including low level 
  of cholesterol and saturated fatty acid can effectively improve long-term outcome, 
  including 1 year death and MACCE in diabetic patients with CAD.}
