Figure 1. Coenzyme Q had no overall effect. The mean ± SD is shown for each time point. Ejection fraction and peak oxygen consumption before and after the treatment period for each patient who received placebo
(left) and coenzyme Q 10 (right).10

Figure 2. Circles represent patients who received active treatment, and crosses represent patients who received placebo. The
study drug clearly increased serum concentrations of coenzyme Q . However, there was no relation between the change in serum
concentration and the change in peak oxygen consumption. The change in coenzyme Q 10 concentration compared with the change in peak oxygen consumption.10
