Coenzyme Q10: The Cardiac Bio-energizer in Cardiovascular Diseases-Juniper Publishers


This systematic review is aimed to identify, evaluate and summarize the role of oral Coenzyme Q10 supplementation in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). CoQ10 is concentrated primarily in the cellular mitochondria where it functions as a co-factor transferring electrons from Complex I to Complex II, III ultimately resulting in the formation of energy in the form of ATP. Coenzyme Q10 an endogenous antioxidant declines in our body because of various factors like aging, diseases and use of certain drugs like statins, beta-blockers which exacerbate its deficiency. Deficiency of this important endogenous antioxidant CoQ10 results in energy depleted state. Published data and research have suggested that Coenzyme Q10 an endogenous antioxidant has a potential for being used in the prevention and treatment of CVDs, in particular in Heart failure and Ischemic heart disease. Supplementation with CoQ10 not only corrects the deficiency of CoQ10 by improving the circulating levels of CoQ10 but also shows a significant improvement in various parameters like ejection fraction, NYHA class, symptom score and survival rate. Being a natural substance with low toxicity and good efficacy it would be appropriate to recommend CoQ10 as an adjunct to conventional therapy in selected group of patients.

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY   Opinion Cardivan- vascular dieses are group of disease which are totally preventable, it is concluded that almost 90% of CVD is avoidable. Improving risk factors is the key point in Prevention strategies, thus minimizing atherosclerosis process are significantly linked to improving risk factors by: healthy diet consumption, conducting exercises, eliminating tobacco smoke and educing alcohol intake. Lipids and high blood pressure management and control have great impact on CVD morbidities and mortalities. Applying effective strep throat with suitable antibiotics can contribute to decrease risk of rheumatic heart disease. Cardiovascular diseases kept the main cause of mortality worldwide globally. It has been estimated that the mortality rate has been increased from 17.9 million deaths (32.1%) in 2015, up from 12.3 million (25.8%) in 1990 and have been increasing in much of the developi...

Spinal Cord Injury: An Under Recognized Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Keywords Keywords: Stroke; Coronary artery disease; Paraplegia; Tetraplegia Opinion Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating, life-changing condition causing paralysis and sensory impairment as well as autonomic dysfunction. In addition, evidence documents a state of chronic inflammation in individuals with SCI [ 1 - 4 ]. Importantly, chronic inflammation is a significant cardiovascular disease risk factor. Furthermore, paralysis can lead to a relatively sedentary life style and a consequent reduction in physical work capacity [ 58 ]. Other consequences of inactivity are a higher body weight, a higher percentage of body fat [ 9 , 10 ], skeletal muscle dysfunction [ 11 - 14 ] and a lower forced vital capacity [ 15 - 17 ]. Autonomic dysfunction involves an abnormal and unstable regulation of the of the heart and vasculature [ 18 ]. ...
