We evaluated the effects of oral L-arginine on the clinical outcome and the
inflammatory markers of patients with intractable angina pectoris. Our fin
dings demonstrated a significant clinical improvement in 7 of 10 patients,
which was associated with a significant decrease in cell adhesion molecule
and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Dietary L-arginine may have clinical b
eneficial effects in patients with intractable angina pectoris, and may hav
e anti-inflammatory properties.
