In this crossover trial, men with chronic stable angina took 1 g of l-carnitine and a placebo twice daily for 30 days each in random order. 10 days prior to starting the study all cardioactive drugs were withdrawn. At the end of each treatment period participants performed an exercise test on a cycloergometer and time to onset of angina, work to 1 mm of ST-segment depression, blood pressure, maximum work, and maximum work load were measured.
