Abstract

Cardiovascular
diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, representing approximately 30% of all fatalities. Evaluating nutritional status is essential to determine if an individual has a nutritional imbalance due to an underlying condition. The purpose of nutrition counseling is to assist clients in gaining a better understanding of vital health-related information. This work aimed to study the possible relationship between cardiovascular disease and nutrition in some inpatients and outpatients in hospitals of Cairo Governorate.   A study was conducted on a sample of one hundred heart patients from a hospital in Cairo. The patients were divided into two equal groups, with 50 patients in each group - 25 inpatients and 25 outpatients. This distribution was designed to have 25 males and 25 females in each group. Outpatients' CVD percentage showed more for  Body Mass Index, Total cholesterol, Alanine Transaminase,

uric acid, Hemoglobin, and Sodium blood test. The percentage of females was higher than for Body

Mass Index, Lactate dehydrogenase, and Hemoglobin. Male percentage was more than females for White blood cells, WH, Lactate dehydrogenase, Creatine Kinase, Triglycerides, Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase, creatinine, and uric acid.
