Korkushko OV, Khavinson VKh, Shatilo VB, Antonyuk-Shcheglova IA · 2006 · Bull Exp Biol Med 142(3):356-359. PMID 17426848
What does this source report?
The abstract describes a randomized comparison and reports favorable long-term cardiovascular and mortality outcomes with the pineal extract.
- Population and setting
- Older patients with coronary disease and accelerated cardiovascular aging; 12-year follow-up
- Evidence type
- Randomized trial
- Preparation
- See the original report; formulation details require verification.
- Source language
- English
- Title provenance
- Title as recorded in the linked source or index. A separate original-language title has not been transcribed unless shown above.
What are the limitations?
- Allocation methods, follow-up completeness and absolute event counts require full-text appraisal.
- Potential overlap with later follow-up reports must be checked; this is not an Epitalon trial.
Publication counts are not counts of independent trials. Reviews, translations and reports sharing participants may overlap. Findings apply to the studied preparation, population and endpoints.
