Can a special diet reduce inflammation for heart health?
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special diet can reduce inflammation and improve heart health in people over 55 who are at increased risk for heart disease but have not yet had a heart attack or stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older.
- You have moderate to high risk for heart disease or stroke (based on your doctor's assessment).
- You do not have any known heart or blood vessel disease, like a past heart attack, stroke, or blocked arteries.
- You are not currently taking a prescription fish oil supplement (like Vazkepa).
- You are not allergic to fish and are not a vegan, since the study involves a special diet.
- You are not participating in another clinical trial at the same time.

This trial studies whether a mindfulness (stress-reducing) program can lower “vascular inflammation” (inflammation in blood vessel walls) in people with stable coronary disease. It may help by improving stress and related inflammation markers while you stay on your usual heart medicines.
This study examines how your body naturally resolves inflammation, which is important for heart health and conditions like diabetes. It involves blood draws and tests to understand how inflammation works.
This trial tests whether taking omega-3 fatty acids can reduce risk factors for developing diabetes in people with normal cholesterol but other risk factors. You might be asked to follow study visits and dietary/health restrictions for about 33 weeks.
This study tests whether taking ginger can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress (cell damage) in people with coronary artery disease. It may help improve heart health by lowering harmful chemicals in the blood.
This study tests whether taking omega-3 fatty acids (a type of healthy fat) can reduce inflammation and improve immune function in older adults with blood vessel disease. It aims to see if omega-3s can slow down aging-related changes in the body.
This study tests if adding plant oils to a healthy diet can improve cholesterol and other heart health markers in people with moderately high cholesterol. It involves following a specific meal plan and having your health monitored over several weeks.
