L-carnitine Heart

Carnitine and cardiovascular disease
 Lipids (fats)provide 60-80% of the metabolic energy required by
the heart, which explains why such high levels of carnitine are
stored in cardiac muscle. Moreover, interference with fatty acid
oxidation can have dire consequences on myocardial function.

Carnitine's cardiovascular benefits are summarised below:
  1. Protection of the heart, and reduction in
    enlargement of heart.
  2. Reduction of cardiac damage from myocardial
    dysfunction.
  3. Improvement in exercise performance; prolong exercise time.
  4. Reduction in angina attacks.
  5. Improvement in cardiac performance as assessed by
    electrophysiological techniques.
