| Abstract | Twelve patients were treated with oral vanadium for 6 months. Nine patients had hypercholesterolemia, and 7 of these had ischemic heart disease. Three patients had ischemic heart disease and normal serum cholesterol. No change in serum cholesterol or lipoprotein patterns was found. The clinical course of the patients remained as would be expected for the natural history of the disease, and there was no alteration in the xanthomata. Toxic side effects occurred in 6 patients. In this limited study, therefore, we have found no evidence that diammonium vanadotartrate lowers serum cholesterol. |
