ABSTRACT
Decades ago when I was in medical school, our medical professors always said that the prognosis of heart failure was worse than cancer. Perhaps this was true before I stumbled upon the metabolic treatment of congestive heart failure. Metabolic therapy in heart failure helps to utilize and drive ATP in the direction of healing. This chapter specifically involves the intertwined relationship of coenzyme Q10, D-ribose, L-carnitine and magnesium in driving energetic relationships in a preferred direction. When one realizes that congestive heart failure is literally an “energy-starved” heart, perhaps energizing diastole will become the new standard of care in the future.
