Recommended by the NHS for my Heart Failure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramipril 3.73mg<\/strong> ACE inhibitor Relaxing blood vessels,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining Ramipril & Dapagliflozin requires caution due to an increased risk of hypotension (low blood pressure) and dehydration<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bisoprolol 2.5mg<\/strong> a beta-blocker, works by blocking the effects of hormones like adrenaline to slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dapagliflozin 10mg <\/strong>a SGLT2 inhibitor. Treats type 2 diabetes by forcing the kidneys to remove excess glucose through urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furosemide 40mg<\/strong> Loop Diuretic. Treats fluid overload (oedema) and high blood pressure by inhibiting salt and water reabsorption in the kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apixaban 10mg<\/strong> oral anticoagulant. Blood thinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atorvastatin 20mg<\/strong> PCSK9 inhibitor. First-line oral statin that reduces cholesterol production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omeprazole 20mg<\/strong> Pump Inhibitor acid reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spironolactone<\/strong> 25mg<\/strong> heart failure, high blood pressure, PCOS potassium-sparing diuretic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do they do in Japan, China & India.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan Collaborative Cohort Study (JACC<\/strong>), suggests a strong, evidence-based approach to using Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), astaxanthin, and Vitamin B12<\/strong> (along with B6\/folate<\/strong>) to support cardiovascular function. In Japan, CoQ10 is considered a legitimate treatment for heart failure, while recent pilot studies have highlighted astaxanthin<\/strong>\u2019s role in reducing cardiac oxidative stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoQ10<\/strong> was approved in Japan in 1974 for the treatment of congestive heart failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astaxanthin<\/strong> supplementation (12 mg\/day) suppressed oxidative stress (lowered dROM levels) and improved heart function (ejection fraction) in patients with heart failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B vitamins<\/strong> (specifically folic acid and B12<\/strong>) were inversely associated with mortality from cardiovascular diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B12\/folate<\/strong> intake was linked to a lower risk of stroke and heart failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B12, alongside B6 and folate<\/strong>, break down homocysteine, which damages inner lining of arteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin D3 and K2<\/strong> is considered a potent “dynamic duo” for cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnesium<\/strong> linked to a lower risk of mortality from ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plays a key role in regulating blood pressure, crucial for preventing cardiovascular issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omega-3s EPA and DHA<\/strong> intake reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, especially for those who are considered to be in a \u201chigher risk population\u201d such as those with higher blood triglyceride<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selenium <\/strong>is an essential mineral with antioxidant properties that help prevent atherosclerosis and maintain heart health. Improves blood rheological properties (fluidity). Heart Failure Risks: selenium<\/strong> deficiency is not uncommon in heart failure patients its deficiency is linked to higher 1-year mortality and readmission rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zinc and vitamin C<\/strong> support your immune system, reducing the risk of several diseases like heart disease and stroke<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quercetin<\/strong> is a naturally occurring plant pigment and one of the most abundant dietary flavonoids<\/strong>, known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
