Brief summary
The clinical trail study aimed to determine effect of DASH eating plan on cardiac parameters and quality of life in hypertensive individuals diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. DASH diet improve quality of life? 2. DASH diet improve cardiac parameters? The researchers assessed the results of 12 weeks of the DASH diet. Patients will apply the DASH diet prepared individually by the researchers for 12 weeks.
Detailed description
The study period was 12 weeks. Patients' food consumption (3 day), anthropometric measurements, blood pressure measurements, physical activity levels, biochemical and cardiac parameters, adherence to DASH eating plan and the MacNew Heart Health-Related Quality of Life Scale were recorded at the beginning of the study and at the end of 12 weeks.

| Quality of Life (MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Scale) | 12 week | The quality of life of the patients at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 12th week was assessed with the MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Scale. The scale is a different form of the Post-MI Quality of Life Scale, which was developed to determine especially depression and anxiety in patients with acute MI (Myocardial Infarction) and which can be evaluated by patients responding to the scale. The scale can be used in different cardiac patients such as MI, angina pectoris and heart failure patients and there is a high correlation between it and other tools that assess quality of life. MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Scale consists of three sub-dimensions (emotional, physical and social) and 27 items in 7-point Likert type. The answer to each item is between 1-7. A low score indicates poor quality of life, while a high score indicates better quality of life. |
| Ejection Fraction (%) | 12 weeks | A measurement of the percentage of blood leaving the heart each time it squeezes (using echocardiographic imaging) |
