    Author: Shulman RS, Herbert PN, Capone RJ, McClure D, Hawkins CM, Henderson LO, Saritelli A, Campbell J.
    Journal: Circulation; 1983 Jun; 67(6 Pt 2):I19-21. PubMed ID: 6851036.
    Abstract:
    The effects of propranolol on lipids and lipoproteins were investigated in survivors of a recent myocardial infarction who were enrolled in the double-blind Beta-Blocker Heart Attack Trial. Nonfasting serum samples were obtained in more than 2800 patients assigned randomly to either propranolol or placebo. The propranolol-treated group had high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels 3-4 mg/dl less and triglyceride concentrations 30-40 mg/dl higher than the placebo group. These effects occurred in men and women in all age categories.
