Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant global health challenge, with diet playing a crucial role beyond conventional risk factors. Nutrient deficiencies and dietary elements significantly impact CVD susceptibility and severity, notably influencing thrombosis, a key contributor to CVDs like venous thromboembolism (VTE), coronary artery disease (CAD), and stroke. Understanding the dietary impact on thrombosis and CVD pathophysiology is essential for mitigating genetic predispositions through dietary adjustments. This chapter explores the protective effects of daily dietary nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, polyphenols, carbohydrates, fiber, and caloric balance, on common CVDs. It also investigates various dietary constituents' effects on thrombus formation mechanisms. These insights will assist healthcare professionals in guiding patients to modify dietary habits for CVD prevention and management, underscoring the importance of informed dietary choices in reducing the burden of CVDs.
