چکیده
We searched the medical literature using the terms “calcium supplements” and “cardiovascular events” in PubMed Clinical Queries, Trip database, and Cochrane reviews. Cochrane reviews did not address this question. Trip database identified an abstract in DARE (database of abstracts of systematic reviews that have been quality assessed) on the following review1: Bolland MJ, Avenell A, Baron JA, et al. Effect of calcium supplements on risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular events: meta-analysis. (BMJ. 2010;341:10.1136/bmj.c3691). This review was also picked up in PubMed Clinical Queries.
