(New York, Reuters Health, 8/27/02)
Dr. Guido Schnyder from the University of California, San
Diego, and colleagues gave 553 patients a daily dose of 400
mcg vitamin B12 and 10 mg of B6, or a placebo, for 6 months
following angioplasty. After a year, the vitamin-treated
patients had experienced fewer combined incidents of death,
heart attack and repeat surgery. |
