Variation of serum lipoproteins in postmyocardial infarction patients treated with verapamil or placebo

Acta Med Scand Suppl. 1984:681:53-7. doi: 10.1111/j.0954-6820.1984.tb08678.x.

Abstract

The effect of verapamil on plasma lipids and lipoproteins was studied in 64 patients taking part in a double blind controlled trial of verapamil versus placebo in post myocardial infarction. During a six month treatment period no significant difference was seen in plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins or low density lipoproteins.
