16
Q

Potassium effects on CV

A

anti HTN, decreases atherosclerotic plaques

decreased incidence of stroke

17
Q

CoQ10

A

mitochondrial nutrient
antioxidant
IND: stable angina, improved endothelial fxn, increased EF (in CHF and dilated cardiomyopathy), HTN, MVP

18
Q

Vit K

A

involved in clotting

cofactor in inhibitor of vascular calcification (Matrix Gla)

19
Q

Ca effect on CV

A

can deposit in walls of arteries resulting in HTN and angina
deposition initiated by injury and inflammation
**ideal to get through the diet: dairy, bone broth*

20
Q

B6 Pyridoxine

A

cofactor for lysyl oxidase, promotes collagen and elastin cross linking
decreases homocysteine
inhibits glycosylation of LDL

21
Q

B12 Cobalamin

A 
decreases homocysteine
def may be assoc w carotid plaques
22
Q

D Ribose

A

improves diastolic function in CHF

23
Q

Riboflavin

A 
component of FAD and needed for ATP
def assoc with CHF
24
Q

Good sources of potassium

A

avocado
potato (with peels)
banana

25
Q

Selenium

A

cofactor in GSH peroxidases, T4 to T3, protein folding

def endemic in China (soil): Keshan cardiomyopathy

26
Q

Magnesium and stress

A

catecholamines depletes Mg from myocardium

depletion increases catecholamine release and increases cardiotoxic effects of epinephrine

27
Q

L Arginine

A

precursor to NO- vasodilator- improved endothelial function
improve exercise capacity
give with tocopherols

28
Q

Calcium nutrient interactions

A

Ca supplementation may increase Mg requirement (and vice-versa)
Can result in poor absorption of Zn and Fe
LYS can increase absorption

29
Q

B9 Folic acid

A

decreases homocysteine

improves endothelial dysfxn in those with CVD

30
Q

Vitamin E - Tocopherols alpha, beta, gamma, delta

A

antioxidant in lipids

may inhibit platelet aggregation
