(CNN) — In results that are stunning cardiologists, a new study shows a “fringe” alternative treatment for heart disease was found to be very effective at preventing heart problems — but the report is so controversial even its lead author is questioning the results.
The patients in the study had had heart attacks, and were assigned to receive either a placebo or a series of intravenous drug infusions called chelation therapy, an unorthodox treatment that has long been looked down upon by cardiologists.
