Heart Failure From Statins? Study Finds Reversal with CoQ10 and Stopping the Drug
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
This important observational study found that long-term statin use may cause a form of heart failure that gets better—or even reverses—after stopping the statin and taking coenzyme Q10. Many of the participants also had symptoms like fatigue, memory loss, or muscle pain that improved with this change. This highlights the need for physicians and patients to stay alert to these effects and consider statin-induced cardiomyopathy in the right setting.
