NCT01647984

Brief Summary

Study on the role of a combination of nutraceuticals (Ritmonutra) with an effect on benign supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles in subjects free of a specific organic heart disease. It has been suggested treatment with a nutritional supplement, able to normalize the 'cardiac electrophysiology' and help to maintain wellness. Ritmonutra ® is a combination of nutraceuticals®, including Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, Hawthorn, Astaxanthin and Vitamin E, help to normalize the heart pacing, reducing the total number of benign extrasystoles and consequently improving the quality of life.
