Hw to Ease Angina Pectoris
About 3 million Americans suffer from angina, a painful attack that occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen. (The medical term for this is myocardial ischemia.) Physical exertion, emotional upset, excessive excitement, or even digestion of a heavy meal can trigger angina attacks in people whose hearts are damaged by high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. Angina attacks often serve as painful reminders that the heart is damaged, and a full-blown heart attack may follow unless steps are taken to mend your ailing heart.
CoQ10 helps people with angina pectoris. As part of a double-blind study (one in which neither the doctor nor the patients know who gets the medication and who gets the placebo), 12 people with angina pectoris took 150 milligrams of CoQ10 daily for four weeks. Patients taking CoQ10 experienced a 53 percent reduction in the frequency of their angina attacks, compared to patients who took the placebo. In addition, those people taking CoQ10 could exercise on a treadmill a lot longer than they could before they started taking CoQ10.
