Heart failure (HF), with an increasing prevalence over time, now affects> 6.5 million adults in the United States (1). Although pharmacological options and devices have improved survival of HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the past decades, strategies to control heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are less well established. Considering the difficulty in treating HF, severe debility experienced by HF patients, and the high cost of HF care (2), prevention of HF should be prioritized. Although adopting a healthy diet is recommended for the primary prevention of HF (1), direct evidence from epidemiological studies that can underpin this recommendation is still limited.In this issue of the Journal, Lara et al.(3) present a prospective study that examined major dietary patterns in association with the incidence of HF and its 2 subtypes, HFpEF and HFrEF, in the REGARDS (Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke) study. The authors derived 5 major dietary patterns in 16,068 black and white adults who were free from coronary heart disease (CHD) at baseline. They report that a higher adherence to a “plant-based” dietary pattern, featuring high intakes of fruit, vegetables, fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy, and low consumption of soda, was associated with a lower risk of HF. This association was independent of established risk factors of CVD and barely changed after further adjusting for potential mediating factors, including measures of
