Coenzyme Q10 and Cardiovascular Health
Coenzyme Q10 is a proven adjuvant treatment of cardiovascular diseases, i.e., heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and myocardial infarction. Clinical studies have also shown beneficial outcomes in risk factors, e.g., dyslipidemias, glucose control, and hypertension. Coenzyme Q10 improves symptoms and survival in heart failure patients and improves heart function and survival in elderly community living individuals.
