Asian Journal of Research in Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiac arrhythmias are common in clinical practice. The two most common are atrial fibrillation and malignant ventricular arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac death. As noted in part I of this two-part manuscript, a plant-based diet, and fish intake appear to reduce the incidence of these troublesome arrhythmias. In this part II, the effect of alcohol, red meat, saturated fat, certain electrolytes and minerals, and commonly prescribed diets for cardiovascular protection, is discussed.
