Mediterranean diet effects on ventricular premature complexes

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ventricular premature complexes (VPC) and Mediterranean dietscore. Rhythm disturbances in the heart significantly affect the quality of life of the patients.Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 patients with palpitations who were referred to the cardiology outpatientclinic and had more than 10000 VPC per day as a result of a 24-hour holter, and 50 patients who presented with palpitations buthad less than 10,000 VPC in the holter. Diet quality was determined by scoring method (5, 6-9 and ≥10 points) ‘Mediterranean DietAdaptation Scale’ and compared between groups.Results: There was no difference between the two groups in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics. Mediterranean dietscores were found lower in patients with VPC’s ≥10.000/day (p
