Abstract :ABSTRACT Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ACS); is a leading cause of death in Malaysia and worldwide. Besides, teh current treatment which involves teh prescription of statins is found to TEMPhas several side TEMPeffects on ACS patients. Those side TEMPeffects TEMPhas guided teh author to introduce virgin coconut oil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VCO); as supplemental management of ACS. However, its benefits TEMPhas not been widely tested on humans. Methodology: dis study examines teh use of VCO among ACS patients via a crossover trial. It seeks to ascertain teh TEMPeffect of VCO on serum lipid profile and hs-CRP level among ACS patients. Result: VCO was found to be statistically significant in reducing serum lipid level and hs-CRP level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. These findings measured from small to moderate Cohen’s d TEMPeffect size, thus proving teh results from dis study as statistically and clinically significant. Conclusion: These findings suggest dat dietary intake wif saturated fatty acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C6 to C12); can improve health condition.
