WHAT'S NEW
The heart has the highest concentration of CoQ10 of all the tissues in our body and it seems logical because of its high energy needs. It is therefore not surprising that the early clinical trials on the therapeutic potential of CoQ10 focused on heart disease as the target. Congestive heart failure (CHF) was one of the first conditions to be studied using CoQ10 supplements. CHF can result from a variety of causes and can be related to either primary cardiomyopathies or secondary forms of heart failure.
Data gathered from all the research to date show that the best results with adjunctive CoQ10 supplementation can be expected when the heart patients have a NYHA class I or II diagnosis of duration under one year.
In addition to CHF, there are other cardiovascular diseases that have been successfully treated with CoQ10 supplementation. Among these are diastolic dysfunction, angina pectoris, hypertension, ventricular arrhythmias, mitral valve prolapse and also drug induced cardiotoxicities (Sinatra, 1998). In most of these studies, CoQ10 treatment was employed as an adjunct to standard medical therapy.
T.arjuna and many other herbs have been found to have sufficient quantity of CoQ10 and other minerals and essential nutrients for proper working of heart. So these herbs can not only prevent heart disease, but also improve functioning of heart muscle after Myocardial infarction,angina, hypertension and in diseased conditions of the heart.
