Vitamin E, being a natural blood thinner, helps to improve blood circulation and prevents blockages in the coronary arteries. Other Findings on Vitamin E and Cardiovascular Diseases The use of vitamin E supplements was associated with a significantly reduced risk of coronary disease in Canadian men. Low dietary vitamin E intake was associated with elevated coronary mortality in Finnish men and women. Vitamin E enhanced the benefits of aspirin by reducing the incidence of strokes in high risk patients. The use of vitamin E supplements was associated with slower progression of coronary artery lesions in men taking cholesterol-lowering drugs and in those taking inactive placebos. The use of vitamin E supplements was associated with a lower risk of recurrence of coronary blockage in patients who had been treated for previous blockages. Two studies on diabetics (a high risk group for cardiovascular disease) showed beneficial changes in lipid peroxidation and other biochemical factors after vitamin E supplementation.
