Are cereal fiber and whole-grain intake associated with reduced progression of coronary-artery atherosclerosis in postmenopausal women with coronary artery disease?
Higher intakes of cereal fiber and whole-grain products are associated with less progression of coronary atherosclerosis in postmenopausal women with established CAD.
In occluded and non-occluded coronary lesions matched for factors known to affect the angiographic outcome, no difference between the respective restenosis rates was observed within 6 months of coronary stenting. Thus, either type of coronary lesion appears to exhibit the same propensity for neointimal hyperplasia.
