 Peter H. Langsjoen, M.D., F.A.C.C.
(Physician, Biochemist and Researcher.)
Dr. Langsjoen launched his career as a specialist in CoQ10 and cardiology with his paper titled, Introduction to Coenzyme Q10, in 1994.
With the statins came an entirely new ball game for statins are reductase inhibitors. Unfortunately other vital functions are also mediated via the mevalonate pathway and CoQ10 is one of these casualties of the war on cholesterol.
Only in this past decade with its new measurement techniques have reliable determination of blood and tissue values permitted the documentation of substantial reduction of CoQ10 with the implementation of statin therapy. Some report values as high as 50% reduction.
When added to age and dietary deficiency statins have increasingly been identified as a final trigger factor in provoking congestive cardiac failure. Langsjoen has now repeatedly documented this and shown the value of supplemental CoQ10 or reduction or elimination of statins in the treatment of this often lethal illness.
