Supplementation with CoQ10 has shown significant benefits in cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure. CoQ10 has at least three functions of relevance to the cardiovascular system, namely its role in cellular energy production, its role as an antioxidant, and its role in gene expression. These functions, in turn, provide the basis for the plausibility of action of CoQ10 in the management of CHF, atherosclerosis and hypertension. The results are overwhelmingly positive, indicating Coenzyme Q10's efficacy in improving cardiovascular health in individuals with cardiomyopathy. Combined with a low-fat diet and moderate exercise, Coenzyme Q10 supplementation can help reduce blood pressure and maintain or regain optimal cardiovascular function, without the risk of dangerous side effects.
