MC, CoQ10 doesn't cure or prevent anything. It does seem to support heart function. Most of the folks on the Yahoo heart group use it for their heart kitties. My sweet Albert was given days/weeks to live after going into CHF and then being dx with severe HCM. With the CoQ10 and other supplements he enjoyed another 1 1/2 yrs before his heart gave out. The recommended dose for kitties is 30 - 60 mg per day.
