flag A plant-based diet reversed coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in female hypertensive rats, even when high blood pressure remained, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. flag The diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, improved heart blood flow and restored function in small blood vessels, with some rats showing improvement after switching diets. flag Researchers used cardiac MRI and cellular analysis to confirm results, noting the diet’s protective effects on heart vessels. flag The study, funded by a USDA grant, is among the first to show diet can treat CMD—a condition affecting small heart vessels, often in women, and linked to chest pain and heart failure. flag While the findings are from animal research, scientists say they support urgent clinical trials in humans.
