Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, with around 17.9 million people dying in 2019, accounting for 32% of all deaths.The coronary microvascular function is an indicator of myocardial oxygen supply and demand assessed by the subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), presenting an estimate of myocardial perfusion concerning cardiac workload and a predictor of coronary flow reserve.Eating habits influence several mechanisms involved with cardiovascular risk factors.Vegetables are the main dietary contributors of NOMany studies have shown the beneficial effect of beetroot juice (BRJ) on blood pressure (BP), improving endothelial function and reducing arterial stiffness.
