What supplements have evidence for post-heart attack recovery?

Omega-3 fatty acids have the most evidence for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction. CoQ10 may support cardiac energy metabolism. Iron supplementation is important for heart attack patients with iron deficiency. Vitamin D adequacy should be ensured. All supplementation must be coordinated with the cardiology team.

Can supplements alone support recovery after a heart attack?

No. Post-heart attack management requires dual antiplatelet therapy, statin therapy, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, and cardiac rehabilitation. These are evidence-based interventions that significantly reduce the risk of subsequent events. Supplements may provide modest adjunctive support but are secondary to guideline-directed medical therapy.

When should someone recovering from a heart attack see a doctor about supplements?

All post-heart attack supplements should be discussed with and approved by your cardiologist. L-arginine should be avoided (VINTAGE MI trial showed potential harm). Supplements affecting bleeding, blood pressure, or heart rhythm may interact dangerously with post-MI medications. Never modify prescribed medications in favor of supplements.
