[Efficacy of ubidecarenone in the treatment of patients with cardiac insufficiency]. 1989

P L Topi, and A Davini, and G Squarcini

In 11 patients suffering from medium to severe heart failure, we performed a clinical and instrumental study to evaluate the effectiveness of ubidecarenone (60 mg/die in a single oral dose), in addition to conventional treatment with digitalis and diuretics. After an 8-month follow-up in most patients we observed a significant improvement in clinical symptoms and in quality of life. Furthermore we were able to demonstrate a statistically significant decrease in left atrium dimensions (p less than 0.01), end-diastolic (p less than 0.01) and end-systolic (p less than 0.05) left ventricular diameters and a significative reduction in the distance of the septum from the e point of the mitral valve (p less than 0.05), expression of significant improvement of cardiac output.

Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
