However, the authors note that this prior research on its effects on lipid profiles has yielded inconsistent results
These data are not in line with the previous findings [11], but this could be probably explained by the retrospective design of the present study, which did not allow a regular collection of ALSFRS-R scores and FVC% at fixed time points
This systematic review of the 13 controlled trials in 3,629 patients, involving 250 deaths, 220 cases of new heart failure, and 38 recurrent heart attacks, found that L-carnitine was associated with: Advertisement Significant 27% reduction in all-cause mortality (number needed to treat 38) Highly significant 65% reduction in ventricular arrhythmias (number needed to treat 4) Significant 40% reduction in the development of angina (number needed to treat 3) Reduction in infarct size There were numerically fewer myocardial reinfarctions and heart failure cases associated with L-carnitine, but this did not reach statistical significance.First author James J
