Abstract

Background: This study aimed to assess attitude of cardiac patients about Coenzyme Q10 supplements.

Methods: A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria was conducted among cardiac patients. This study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire, derived from extensive literature reviews.

Results: Study subjects were found to have average attitude (n= 87, 64.9%) towards Coenzyme Q10 supplementations. This study found strong positive correlation between the knowledge score and attitude score (r=0.776, p<0.05). It was found that 7 (46.67%) of study subjects who consumed the Coenzyme Q10 supplements were recommended by friends and family.

Conclusion: The attitude towards Coenzyme Q10 supplements reflected the low pattern of use, and emphasized the role of healthcare providers to increase awareness about the benefits of Coenzyme Q10 supplements among cardiac patients as well as to educate them about its interaction with some drugs.
