title: [Cardiovascular actions of a standardized polyphenol concentrate on patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study].
abstract: In this study the authors analyzed the action of Flavon Max product on the cardiovascular system of patients with severe coronary disease. Two randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trials were carried out using impedance-cardiography, arteriography, vascular Doppler and biochemical laboratory methods. The results demonstrate that Augmentation Index measured with arteriography and C reactive protein (CRP) levels were significantly ameliorated after 2 x 2 months Flavon Max therapy. In conclusion, this product is beneficial as adjuvant in the treatment of atherosclerotic coronary disease.
