A randomized controlled trial by Burr et al. examined the relationship between diet and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) or heart attack in 2033 men recovered from MI. The men were advised to reduce fat intake, increase fatty fish consumption, and increase fiber intake from cereal. Results showed that patients who had had a myocardial infarction had a 29% reduction in mortality over 2 years by eating three fish meals a week. By contrast, patients who were randomized to high-fiber and low-fat diets did not have a significant reduction in mortality. Authors conclude that intake of fatty fish two or three time per week may decrease mortality among men recovered from MI. (8)
