Lisa,

Many here have taken CoQ10 when their echos showed lowered LVEF. In many instances it enabled them to continue Herceptin without interruption. You can Google it for various studies on its affect on cardiac function. I used it during my year of Herceptin therapy.

Here is a review of the research on CoQ10 and EF: http://openheart.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000326

They concluded: "Thus, in aggregate, evidence suggests that supplemental CoQ10 may be a useful option for effective management of heart failure, with the advantage of excellent clinical tolerance—reflecting its status as an essential physiological cofactor."
