The aim of the study is to determine, wheather strict dietary intervention with the use of the DASH diet atop of optimal medical treatment reduces previously diagnosed coronary atherosclerotic lesions assessed witch coronary computed tomography.
A total of 180 patients with coronary atheroslerotc lesions confirmed in coronary computed tomography (CCT) will be analyzed in a 12-month observation time. Patients will be randomized to two groups in a 1:1 fashion. 1 - optimal medical treatment, 2 - strict dietary intervention with implementation of the DASH diet atop of optimal medical treatment. CCT scans will be performed at screening and at 12 months after randomization. Computed tomography imaging data describing atheroslerotic lesions will be assessed.

The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is a dietary pattern of proven effect on arterial blood pressure reduction. It is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy foods; includes meat, fish, poultry, nuts, and beans; and is limited in sugar-sweetened foods and beverages, red meat, and added fats. Dietary counseling will be provided during each of 7 control visits within the 12-month time of observation.
Optimal Medical Treatment as per 2013 ESC Guidelines on the Management of Stable Coronary Artery Disease.
