Cardiovascular disease has emerged as the leading cause of death during the last two decades in Korea. The most significant changes of risk factors in Korea might be the increment of serum cholesterol level and the dietary intake of sodium and saturated fat. The DASH (Dietary approach to stop hypertension) diet emphasizes intake of fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products to lower saturated fat and cholesterol intake. We modified DASH diet for Korean middle-aged and elderly cardiovascular disease patient and carried out the hospital based diet education program. After the education program, patient’s lipid profiles and urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, nitrogen and creatinine was analyzed. After dietary habit was improved, there were significant reduction of 24-hour urinary excretion of sodium, potassium and nitrogens. Although blood lipid profiles were not significantly reduced, but there were desirable changes. In conclusion, this modified DASH diet education program was helpful in the management of risk factors in cardiovascular disease patients.
