L-Carnitine improves survival after a heart attack
The amino acid L-carnitine found in meat and widely available as an over-the-counter nutritional supplement has been found to significantly improve cardiac health in patients after a heart attack, The findings, based on analysis of key controlled trials, associate L-carnitine with significant reduction in death from all causes and a highly significant reduction in ventricular arrhythmias and angina attacks following a heart attack, compared with placebo or control.
