AAMA CMA Practice Question

A 68-year-old female patient with a history of cardiovascular disease is in for a routine follow-up. She states that she recently read about diets that could help manage her condition and is seeking advice. Having a good understanding of her condition and the impact of diet on cardiovascular health, which of the following dietary recommendations is most appropriate to suggest?

  • Start using olive oil for frying instead of butter or lard to reduce saturated fat intake, thus managing cardiovascular health risks.

  • Begin a gluten-free diet, as it is essential for cardiovascular health by removing gluten that can cause inflammation and contribute to heart disease.

  • Start the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which promotes heart health by lowering sodium and increasing nutrient-rich foods that can lower blood pressure.

  • Switch to a low-carbohydrate diet to minimize blood sugar spikes and reduce the glycemic load, which primarily benefits people with diabetes more than cardiovascular disease.
