Abstract
Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in forearm resistance vessels of men within 6 months of myocardial infarction is impaired compared with age-matched controls. Vitamin E at 800 IU/day for 3 months has no sig nificant effect on endothelium-dependent or endothelium-independent va sodilation in men after myocardial infarction or in controls.
