Left ventricular remodeling can still occur after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Global longitudinal strain (GLS) assessment has been used as a predictor of left ventricular remodeling. Coenzyme Q10 is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help reduce cardiac remodeling. This study aims to determine the effect of CoQ10 administration after myocardial infarction as an adjunct to standard therapy on left ventricular remodeling, assessed through changes in GLS values. Researchers will compare Coenzyme Q10 to a placebo to see if Coenzyme Q10 has a greater effect on improving left ventricular GLS values in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
This is a randomized, double blind study with 2 treatment groups. Participants diagnosed with Acute STEMI post primary PCI who meet the inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria are given an explanation regarding the research and additional therapy that will be given, then informed consent is requested. Participants will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups by chance. Patients randomized to the first group will receive coenzyme Q10 100mg/12hours. Patients randomized to the other treatment group will receive a placebo. It is expected that the patients of the treatment group with the coenzyme Q10 will have a greater improvement of their GLS.

Improvements in Global longitudinal strain
GLS value was evaluated pre and post intervention. Pre intervention GLS were examined within the first 24 hour after PPCI, GLS post intervention at 8 weeks follow up GLS assesed with Epiq 7C ultrasound machine manufactured by Philips Medical Systems, the investigators conducted two-dimentional speckle-tracking investigations. These studies utilized QLAB/automated cardiac motion quantification (ACMQ) version 10.85 and QLAB/LV auto-strain version 12.0, both developed by Philips Healthcare. Three sequential cardiac cycles of apical 4, 2, and 3 chamber view images were stored using all scanners with the best machine settings and frame rates 50-70 frames per second for the purpose of measuring strain using speckle tracking echocardiography.
Time frame: at 8 weeks follow up
