Brief Summary

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death and prescription drug use. Research on certain dietary supplements looks promising as a way to help reduce risk factors. Previous studies showed that CoQ10 levels were decreased in cardiovascular patients and worsening of mitochondrial dysfunction was observed. The overall objective of this study is to determine if supplementing with CoQ10 can reduce inflammatory risk factors in adults with cardiac surgery, independent of other dietary or physical activity changes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • C-reactive protein

    Inflammatory and endothelial blood work biomarkers

    Change from baseline of CRP in mg/L at 5 days after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Interleukin-6

    Change from baseline of IL-6 in pg/mL at 5 days after surgery.

Study Arms (2)

Coenzyme Q10 group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the experimental group will be given 10mg of Coenzyme Q10 each time (3 times a day).

Drug: Coenzyme Q10

Control

SHAM COMPARATOR

patients only receive standard medical therapy.

Dietary Supplement: Standard Medical Therapy

Interventions

Coenzyme Q10 is a cardiovascular health supplement. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, which generates energy in the form of ATP. The ingredients in Coenzyme Q10 help regulate the body's production of free radicals, strengthen the arteries and heart, and reverse oxidation.

Also known as: ubiquinone
Coenzyme Q10 group
Standard Medical TherapyDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Patients only received standard medical therapy without CoQ10.
