Abstract

Micronutrients are essential for the proper physiological functioning of the human body. They are only needed in trace amounts. However, low, or excess serum levels can result in wide-ranging undesirable health effects and increase mortality. Further, some micronutrients like arsenic are toxic if the body if exposed to them. The most common micronutrients involved with coronary artery disease include minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Several other dietary supplements may also affect coronary artery disease. These include fish oil, curcumin, and probiotics. Micronutrients are often misunderstood in their role in preventing and reducing the impact of CAD and often end up being misused. In parts 1 and 2, the various macronutrients and their relationship with coronary artery disease were discussed. This section looks at several micronutrients that play a modulating role in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
