    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Nutritional Science
    • Clinical Trials

    Background:

    • Angina pectoris symptoms are sometimes claimed to be relieved by high doses of vitamin E.
    • Previous research on vitamin E for angina has been limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reinvestigate the efficacy of large doses of vitamin E in relieving angina pectoris symptoms using a randomized double-blind trial.

    Main Methods:

    • A nine-week randomized double-blind trial was conducted in two parts.
    • Part 1: 40 patients received either 3200 IU of vitamin E or a placebo daily.
    • Part 2: 15 patients already on vitamin E received either their current dose or a placebo.

    Main Results:

    • Neither part of the trial provided statistically convincing evidence for vitamin E's effectiveness in treating angina.

  • A small beneficial effect of vitamin E could not be definitively ruled out.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study suggests that vitamin E may not be a primary treatment for angina pectoris.
    • Further double-blind trials are warranted, considering preliminary positive findings in similar studies and related conditions like intermittent claudication.
