L-Carnitine heart health
A systematic review by the Mayo Clinic suggested that L-Carnitine can reduce mortality, abnormal heart rhythms and angina development in patients experiencing a heart attack.
The research team reviewed 13 controlled trials involving 3629 people and concluded that L-Carnitine had multiple cardiovascular benefits for heart attack sufferers.
“Compared with placebo or control, L-carnitine is associated with a 27% reduction in all-cause mortality, a 65% reduction in ventricular arrhythmias, and a 40% reduction in anginal symptoms in patients experiencing an acute myocardial infarction.
“Further study with large randomized controlled trials of this inexpensive and safe therapy in the modern era is warranted,” said the researchers.
