Heart boost
However, almost ten years ago a local GP advised taking this supplement to counter any decrease in heart muscle that might arise with the consumption of statins.
It’s good that the world is now catching up with a switched-on GP. Dr Neil Milliken stand up and take a bow!

Hide AdThe beneficial effects of Coenzyme Q10 have been studied for some five decades now and studies are not at a very early stage as stated in your report (25 May).
Thousands of heart patients have benefited from commercially available supplements. So, it appears that both the conference you referred to and the National Health in Scotland may be a wee bit out of date as far as the CoQ10 is concerned: it is, actually, rather surprising that the NHS has not included the CoQ10 in the list of treatments provided to patients with heart failure.
Such a controlled approach would be much cheaper than much more expensive emergency treatments of heart failure.
