An Indian version of Mediterranean diet was formulated and its therapy with regular diet counseling was imparted to the adult human volunteers suffering from myocardial infarction. The study was preceded with the selection of 90 adults with MI (Myocardial Infarction) of 30-60 years of age on self consent basis. An information schedule was formed for data collection. Impact of experimental work on the study variables was collected on 1st, 90th and 180th day from the commencement of study. Required statistical analysis was done to make inferences. Obtained results showed that The Indo Mediterranean Diet Therapy (IMDT) caused significant changes in Lipid profile of adults having Myocardial infarction in comparison to Cardiac Diet Therapy (CDT). A positive shift in Total Lipid, HDL, VLDL, and Cholesterol levels have been obtained in IMDT group in comparison to CDT group. So, the results indicated beneficial effect of Indo-Mediterranean diet in the prognosis of Myocardial Infarction.

Impact of experimental work on the study variables was collected on 1st, 90th and 180th day from the commencement of study. Required statistical analysis was done to make inferences. Obtained results showed that The Indo Mediterranean Diet Therapy (IMDT) caused significant changes in Lipid profile of adults having Myocardial infarction in comparison to Cardiac Diet Therapy (CDT). A positive shift in Total Lipid, HDL, VLDL, and Cholesterol levels have been obtained in IMDT group in comparison to CDT group.
