Resum

Background. Analyze the adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MeD) by patients with heart failure (HF) Method. We included consecutive patients diagnosed with HF in 4 hospitals. The data collected included epidemiological, comorbidities, basal situation and usual treatment. Adherence to the MeD was assessed by telephone interview with the MEDAS-14 questionnaire. Results. A total of 411 patients were included: age 77 (15) years, 56% women, with a high number of risk factors and cardiovascular comorbidity, 58.9% of patients had an adequate adherence to MeD. Of the 14 dietetic items in the MEDAS-14 the low adherence to the recommended quantity of wine (≥7 glasses/week, 14 %) and nuts (≥3 rations/week, 17%) was of note. The MEDAS-14 score was 8.9 (1.7) points. Adequate adherence to the MeD was observed in 59% of the patients. Conclusion. The MEDAS-14 questionnaire identified aspects which may be improved in the diet of patients with HF.
