This is largely due to American\u2019s poor dietary patterns and practices causing increasing trends in the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. For decades, dietary guidelines on \u2018healthy diets\u2019 to reduce CVD risk, grounded in epidemiological research, have been nationally distributed to Americans. In this review, we highlight landmark events in modern nutrition science and how these have framed past and current understandings of diet and health. We also follow the evolution of dietary recommendations for Americans throughout the years, with an emphasis on recommendations aimed to reduce risk for CVD and mortality. Secondly, we examine how the low-fat ideology came to dominate America in the last decades of the 20th century and subsequently contributed to an excess intake of refined carbohydrates which, in the context of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, may have fueled the obesity epidemic. We then examine the current major evidence-based dietary patterns and specific dietary approaches to reduce CVD risk, reviewing the literature surrounding nutritional components of the heart-healthy diet and discussing the dietary patterns proven most effective for CVD prevention: the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, the Mediterranean diet, and the healthy vegetarian diet. Finally, we discuss emerging dietary trends, considerations for nutrition counseling, and future directions within the important field of nutrition, with the ultimate goal of improving vascular health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1358863x19901287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]],"date-time":"2020-03-03T05:07:46Z","timestamp":1583212066000},"page":"184-193","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["The evolution of the heart-healthy diet for vascular health: A walk through time"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Nicole Mercado","family":"Fischer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2726-1713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent A","family":"Pallazola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Xun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Cainzos-Achirica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5547-5084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erin D","family":"Michos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000659"},{"key":"bibr2-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamacardio.2016.1326"},{"key":"bibr3-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyz143"},{"key":"bibr4-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2017.0947"},{"key":"bibr5-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)30041-8"},{"key":"bibr6-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2018.11025"},{"key":"bibr7-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ypmed.2018.08.024"},{"key":"bibr8-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12170-018-0567-8"},{"key":"bibr9-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jhmas\/jrn001"},{"key":"bibr10-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.k2392"},{"key":"bibr11-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.67.5.968"},{"key":"bibr12-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0091-7435(84)90047-1"},{"key":"bibr13-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/1995-705X.185130"},{"key":"bibr14-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-55-1-33"},{"key":"bibr15-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-8703(51)90150-0"},{"key":"bibr16-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2019.03.009"},{"key":"bibr17-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-8223(21)05603-0"},{"key":"bibr18-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-8223(21)05573-5"},{"key":"bibr19-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"389","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1961.63040050001011","volume":"175","author":"Dietary fat and its relation to heart attacks and strokes","year":"1961","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"bibr20-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1985.03350380096029"},{"key":"bibr21-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00017285-199211000-00005"},{"key":"bibr22-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.115.306825"},{"key":"bibr23-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2015.5941"},{"key":"bibr24-1358863X19901287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10408398.2010.526846"},{"key":"bibr25-1358863X19901287","unstructured":"Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
