Based on interviews, researchers identified five dietary patters including Southern U.S. pattern.

In a six years long close analysis of people in these five category, researchers recorded as many as 536 heart attacks, including some resulting in death.

The results show that among people whose diet fell into the Southern pattern were 37% more likely to have a heart attack during the six years.

What is right diet for you may be the wrong one for another. The diet that suits you will depend on your blood type. This diet is called the blood group diet.

The link remained significant even after the researchers accounted for factors often involved in heart attack risk like age, race, education, blood pressure and weight.

The other four dietary patterns were not linked to an increased risk of heart attack, but Shikany said that doesn't mean they're heart-healthy.
