Summary

The trial is designed to assess whether individualized nutritional education provides additional benefit beyond standard early cardiac rehabilitation in patients after myocardial infarction. Patients referred for cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction are randomized to a control group receiving standard rehabilitation care or to an intervention group receiving standard care plus structured personalized dietary education. The educational intervention is tailored to baseline dietary habits, nutritional knowledge, and adherence to cardioprotective dietary recommendations. Outcomes include changes in diet quality, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, nutritional knowledge, anthropometric measures, and bioelectrical impedance analysis-derived body composition parameters. The study will evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating individualized dietary education into early cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dietary education

Participants in the intervention group receive standard early cardiac rehabilitation supplemented with individualized dietary counselling provided by a trained dietitian. The counselling is tailored to baseline dietary habits, nutritional knowledge, cardiovascular risk factors, nutritional status, comorbidities, and body composition. The intervention focuses on improving adherence to cardioprotective and Mediterranean-style dietary recommendations, including higher intake of vegetables, fruit, whole-grain products, legumes, nuts, fish, and unsaturated fats, and reduced intake of saturated fats, highly processed foods, sweets, sugar-sweetened beverages, and excess salt. The intervention includes assessment of current diet, identification of key dietary errors, practical recommendations, and individualized nutrition-related goals during cardiac rehabilitation.
