Dietary acid load significantly predicts 10-years survival in patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Numerous studies have revealed the role of dietary acid load as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular events and blood pressure. However, its role in predicting the mortality rate in patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) has not been reported. In the current study we aimed to evaluate the relationship of dietary acid load and cardio-metabolic risk factors with ten year survival among patients underwent CABG.

Methods

The current prospective cohort study comprises 454 patients underwent CABG. Anthropometric, clinical and biochemical measurements were performed. Dietary acid load was calculated as either potential renal acid load (PRAL) or net endogenous acid production (NEPA) using the data obtained from a semi-quantitative food fre
