[Correspondence] Plant-based diets for coronary artery disease prevention

We read with interest the Lancet Commission1 on rethinking coronary artery disease, which shifts focus from ischaemia to atherosclerosis.

However, we believe greater emphasis could have been placed on the importance of plant-based diets given their great potential in atherosclerosis prevention.
