About

The clinical trail study aimed to determine effect of DASH eating plan on cardiac parameters and quality of life in hypertensive individuals diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. DASH diet improve quality of life?
2. DASH diet improve cardiac parameters?

The researchers assessed the results of 12 weeks of the DASH diet.

Patients will apply the DASH diet prepared individually by the researchers for 12 weeks.

Description:

The daily energy requirement of the individuals included in the study was obtained by multiplying the physical activity level (PAL) calculated as a result of 24-hour physical activity recording and the Harris-Benedict formula used to calculate the basal metabolic rate. Harris-Benedict Formula Male 66.5 + 13.75 x Weight (kg) + 5.003 x Height (cm) - 6.775 x Age (years) Female 655.1 + 9.563 x Weight (kg) + 1.85 x Height (cm) - 4.676 x Age (years) After the daily energy requirement was calculated, a DASH eating plan specific to the individuals was created and they were asked to maintain it for 12 weeks. In addition, the personal contact information of the researcher was shared with the individuals and they were in constant communication about all questions related to the nutrition plan.
