    Author: Rathmann KL, Golightly LK.
    Journal: Drug Intell Clin Pharm; 1984 Dec; 18(12):1000-3. PubMed ID: 6439540.
    Abstract:
    Chelation therapy with intravenous injections of edetate disodium is being promoted to the public as a nonsurgical means to treat coronary or other arterial atherosclerosis. The rationale for use, clinical efficacy, and safety are reviewed. Acceptable evidence supporting chelation therapy for atherosclerotic vascular disease is lacking.
