No full textPatients often use dietary supplements for cardiovascular prevention. An US study showed that 75% of patients with cardiovascular disease used dietary supplements. Red yeast rice, phytosterols and fibers can significantly decrease LDL. The level of monacolin in red yeast rice can vary between products and toxins can sometimes be found. Prospective studies showed that fibers could decrease cardiovascular risk. Others substances, like guggul, soy and artichoke leaf extracts, did not show a clear benefit for cardiovascular prevention. Measurements of cholesterol levels can help the physician to discuss with his patient about the effects of some dietary supplements.Les patients ont souvent recours à des compléments alimentaires pour la prévention cardiovasculaire. Une étude, menée aux Etats-Unis, a montré que 75 % des patients avec maladie cardiovasculaire avaient recours à des compléments alimentaires. La levure de riz rouge, les phytostérols et les fibres entraînent une baisse significative du LDL. Le taux de monacoline dans la levure de riz rouge peut varier selon les produits et la pureté n’est pas garantie. Des études prospectives ont montré que les fibres diminuent le risque cardiovasculaire. D’autres substances comme le guggul, le soja et l’extrait de feuilles d’artichaut n’ont pas montré de bénéfice clair en prévention cardiovasculaire. Un suivi du cholestérol peut aider le clinicien à discuter avec son patient des effets de la prise de certains compléments alimentaires
