Abstract
A positive and independent association was found between ALA in adipose tissue and HRV in women referred for coronary angiography due to suspected coronary artery disease. This association was even stronger for women who smoked. The results might suggest a possible antiarrhythmic effect of ALA in women, an effect which could explain results from previous studies. However, intervention trials with ALA in humans, not least women are warranted.
