Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) per Heart Failure

B Evidenze Almeno un trial randomizzato lo supporta, con risultati per lo più coerenti.

Q-SYMBIO trial (420 patients, 2 years): 43% MACE reduction, 44% CV mortality reduction with 300 mg/day. Multiple meta-analyses support improved exercise tolerance and ejection fraction.
