Coronary artery disease (CAD) ranks among the most prevalent and deadly cardiovascular conditions globally. Lately, an observable trend shows that CAD is increasingly impacting younger people. This article aims to study the relationship between the unique nutrients in the Mediterranean diet (MeDi) and CAD, so as to achieve its prevention and adjuvant treatment effect, and provides more feasible schemes for the alleviation of CAD. This paper reviews the potential mechanism of the key nutrients in the MeDi in the prevention and adjuvant treatment of CAD by systematically consulting and summarizing the relevant literature at home and abroad. The results show that the MeDi through its special nutrients (such as oleic acid, polyphenols, ω -3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids, plant proteins, etc.) have multi-target, multi-channel effects and their synergistic effects in regulating blood lipid metabolism, improving vascular endothelial function and other aspects of effective intervention on CAD, thus playing the role of intervention and adjuvant therapy on CAD.
