Antioxidant vitamins may attenuate early post-MI remodeling; hypothesis-generating and requires larger randomized confirmation.
Do antioxidant vitamins reduce oxidative stress and ventricular remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing reperfusion therapy?
Antioxidant vitamin supplementation before and for 1 month after reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction may reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, and left ventricular remodeling.
Gasparetto et al. (2005) studied this question.
