HRT and vitamins C and E do not improve coronary disease in women

M Nawal Lutfiyya et al. J Fam Pract. 2003 Feb.

Abstract

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and antioxidant vitamin supplements (vitamins E and C) do not provide cardiovascular benefit for postmenopausal women with known coronary heart disease. Moreover, a potential for harm exists with each of the treatments. Therefore, neither should be prescribed specifically for cardiovascular benefit for postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease.
