Abstract
Ninety-four consecutive hospital patients aged over 50 years were incl uded in a cross-sectional study. Serum samples were analyzed for coenz yme Q10, alpha-tocopherol, and free cholesterol levels. Patients who d ied within a follow-up period of 6 months or had congestive heart fail ure or severe myalgia, and/or received cytostatic or lipid-lowering dr ug therapy showed significantly lower free cholesterol-related coenzym e Q10 values. Prospective controlled clinical trials will determine wh ether coenzyme Q10 has a potential to protect patients from such compl ications and become a useful therapy.
