The one in five who ate most fibre had a 25% lower chance of dying from any cause during the nine
years after their heart attack compared with the fifth who ate the least.
The high-fibre group was 13% less likely to have a fatal heart attack.
The researchers say the findings point to a simple lifestyle step that people could take, alongside
their medication, to improve their long-term health prospects.
Victoria Taylor, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "High-fibre foods are a key part of a healthy
balanced diet, and this study suggests they may have a particular benefit for heart-attack survivors.
"We can't say for sure what caused the fibre benefit seen here, but we do know that, on average,
we're not getting enough fibre in our diets.
"Fibre comes from a range of foods, including fruit and veg, beans and lentils, and also from cereal
products, which this study found to be particularly beneficial.
"To get more fibre, you can make simple swaps, such as trading white bread for wholegrain versions
or opting for higher-fibre breakfast cereals, like porridge or muesli."
