Selenomethionine (Selenium) and lower
cholesterol?
Selenium—prevents ventricular
tachycardia, is a hypolipidemic, and
improves diabetic symptoms, congestive
heart failure, and cardiomyopathy.
Cardiomyopathy is defined as any disease
that affects the structure and function
of the heart. For example, the heart may
become disabled as fibrous tissue
partially replaces the heart muscle; the
fibrous tissue degrades the heart's
performance and the blood no longer
moves efficiently. The World Health
Organization recognizes cardiomyopathy
as a selenium deficiency. In addition,
French researchers showed that chronic
heart failure (associated with oxidative
stress) appears to be relieved by
selenium supplementation
