The first part of a review of dietary factors in coronary heart disease: most coffee studies found no significant association, and Norwegian data tied unfiltered boiled coffee to more deaths, while each extra 10 g of daily fiber tracked with 14% fewer coronary events.

If you have coronary heart disease, this article may save your life
Following 16,057 Dutch women for eight years, researchers linked each extra 10 micrograms of vitamin K2 a day to a 9 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease, driven by the MK-7, MK-8 and MK-9 subtypes. Vitamin K1 showed no association with risk.

Taurine helps cut heart disease risk in women with high cholesterol - study
Comparing 223 women who later developed coronary heart disease with 223 matched controls, researchers found no overall link to serum taurine. After adjustment the highest tertile had 34% less risk, and 61% less among women with high total cholesterol.

Eating Beans, Vegetables May Cut Risk of Coronary Heart Disease
A meta-analysis of 15 studies tied the highest dietary folate intakes to 31% lower coronary heart disease risk, each extra 200 micrograms a day to 12% lower risk, and the highest blood folate levels to 26% lower risk. The authors note the observational data cannot prove cause.
Lifestyle
Physical activity cuts risk of heart disease
Meta-analysing 33 study reports, Sattelmair's team found people getting the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate leisure-time activity were 14 percent less likely to develop coronary heart disease than the inactive, and those getting 300 minutes 20 percent less likely.
Vitamins
Vitamin C, Omega 3 fatty acids cut death risk from cardiovascular disease
Following 58,730 Japanese adults for 16.5 years, researchers found women with the highest vitamin C intake were 30% less likely to die of stroke and 37% less likely to die of coronary heart disease. The association was not significant in men, and vitamins A and E showed none.
