Brief Summary:
Background Honey as a natural product produced by honey bees has anti-oxidant anti-microbial anti-inflammatory and immunomodulator properties A few reports suggest that honey might have positive effects on cardiovascular diseases
Methods This was a randomized controlled study which was carried out on 50 children aged 2 to 12 years suffering from idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy IDC Patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups the honey group and the control group In the honey group honey was provided in a dose of 12gkgday for three months in addition to the traditional treatment of IDC The patients in the control group received only their standard treatment without honey The main outcome measure was the percent change in the ejection fraction EF and the fraction shortening FS shown in echocardiography
