Summary:The paper analyses the results of published studies on co-enzyme Q10 effectiveness in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). Co-enzyme Q10 plays an important role in cell energy metabolism, as a co-enzyme and antioxidant. Blood pressure reduction could be explained not only by oxidative stress prevention, but also by improved insulin response to blood glucose elevation. Considering antihypertensive effectiveness and good tolerability of co-enzyme Q10, this medication could be recommended for AH treatment as an alternative agent, or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. However, to obtain more evidence on the mechanisms of its antihypertensive effect, further studies of co-enzyme Q10 are warranted.
