Dr Langsjoen CoQ10 presentation key takeaways
Dr. Langsjoen highlighted the essential role of CoQ10 in mitochondrial function and its impact on overall health. He mentioned that 2.5 μg CoQ10/ml plasma level was previously considered the target for CVD therapeutic effect, but he now suggests that up to 6 μg/ml may be required. He also mentioned that either form of CoQ10 works.
Dr. Langsjoen discussed his experience with CoQ10 supplementation in the treatment of heart failure, which has been highly gratifying and free of adverse effects. However, he noted that Q10 supplementation in HF may require gradually decreasing beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and diuretics to avoid hypotension and similar effects.
Conclusion
Dr Langsjoen CoQ10 presentation at ICQA22 was a game-changer for those seeking to improve their cardiovascular health.

I am grateful to Dr. Langsjoen for sharing his expertise with me and allowing me to share a copy of his presentation on this website.
Dr. Langsjoen is a long-time good friend, and we first met during a karaoke event in 2010 in Brussels that I organized for Kaneka. He has retired from his practice as of March 1, 2022. I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Langsjoen for his contribution to the field of cardiology.
