Studies have found that the majority of cardiologists lack current, up-to-date education surrounding nutrition and diet. A report published by the American Journal of Medicine, authored by a dozen healthcare professionals in the United States and Spain, titled “A Deficiency of Nutrition Education and Practice in Cardiology” details that less than a third of cardiologists describe their nutrition knowledge as “mostly up to date” or better. In order to lessen the total annual cost and financial burden of cardiometabolic disease, it is incumbent upon clinicians to support the implementation of proper nutritional training.
CMHC has partnered with the Gaples Institute for Integrative Cardiology, a nonprofit that aims to provide leadership in advocacy and education surrounding the critical role of nutrition and lifestyle in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, to offer information regarding evidence-based dietary and nutritional advice.
