Studie: CoQ10 mot hjärtsjukdom

Man har analyserat vidare data från den internationella studien Q-Symbio som först publicerades 2014 med goda resultat. Efter att forskarna nu specifikt studerat data från de europeiska studiedeltagarna, är resultaten än mer tydliga. Deltagare som tagit Q10 har en signifikant fördel.

Ur studien:

“Geographical differences in patient characteristics, management and outcomes in heart failure (HF) trials are well recognized. The aim of this study was to assess the consistency of the treat- ment effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in the European sub-population of Q-SYMBIO, a randomized double-blind multinational trial of treatment with CoQ10, in addition to standard therapy in chronic HF.”

“Patients with moderate to severe HF were randomized to CoQ10 300 mg daily or placebo in addition to standard therapy. At 3 months the primary short-term endpoints were changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, 6-min walk test, and levels of N-terminal pro–B type natriuretic peptide. At 2 years the primary long-term endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).”

“The following secondary endpoints were significantly improved in the CoQ10 group compared with the placebo group: all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, NYHA classification and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In the European sub-population, when compared to the whole group, there was greater adherence to guideline directed therapy and similar results for short- and long-term endpoints. A new finding revealed a significant improvement in LVEF.”

“The therapeutic efficacy of CoQ10 demonstrated in the Q-SYMBIO study was confirmed in the European sub-population in terms of safely reducing MACE, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, hospitalization and improvement of symptoms.”
