Coenzyme Q10 improves functional capacity in patients with heart failure

Coenzyme Q10 improves functional capacity in patients with heart failure...

"BACKGROUND: There is evidence that plasma CoQ(10) levels decrease in patients with advanced chronic heart failure (CHF). "

"CONCLUSIONS: Oral CoQ(10) improves LV contractility in CHF without any side effects. This improvement is associated with an enhanced functional capacity."
