Nina,
I believe we are not completely unable to do something about this. I paid attention to what
I read here and started taking CO Enzyme Q 10 as soon as I my first MUGA went down. I took 150mgm daily (only because that was the dose that Costco sold) and my next MUGA actually went up to normal range and stayed there. My oncologist finally decided I didn't need regular MUGA scans. I still take CO Enzyme Q10 and my heart is great. P.S. I am 72 years old, a former smoker and overweight so I am pleased with my current cardiac status.
Love & hugs,
Marlys
