Reza Parizadeh SM et al. - Three groups were compared: patients undergoing angiography with angiographically defined CAD, individuals with a normal angiogram, and apparently healthy controls with no evidence of overt CAD. Mean serum Se concentrations were not significantly different between patients with and without CAD and the control group. The mean value of serum GPx in the control group was significantly higher than in patients with or without CAD. Selenium status did not differentiate between patients with and without CAD, which may be related to the fact that angiography is not a very sensitive index of global atherosclerosis, and it is possible that patients who were CAD negative by angiogram still have significant disease.
