Professor Suleiman says that the finding is in complete contrast to the disease-prone animals, and suggests that Western style high-fat diet can significantly weaken the internal defences of the otherwise normally working heart and render it vulnerable to any sudden stress.

Based on their study’s results, the researchers have come to the conclusion that western-style high-fat diets are not only bad for people with disease prone hearts, but also for individuals with healthy hearts.

"We have shown that in mice prone to developing coronary artery disease, a Western-style diet accelerates the progression of disease but that hearts with coronary disease then became more resistant to further damage, such as occurs during surgery. But it is still better to avoid surgery altogether by adopting healthy eating habits!" the researcher said.
