The Claim
A 24-week course of 10 mg nightly melatonin supplementation does not significantly alter left ventricular ejection fraction or left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, nor does it reverse structural cardiac remodeling or improve systolic function in patients with stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking 10 mg of melatonin every night for six months does not improve heart pumping ability or change heart size in people with a specific type of chronic heart failure.
See the scientific wording
Twenty-four weeks of 10 mg nightly melatonin supplementation does not significantly alter left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) or left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) in patients with stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, indicating that melatonin does not reverse established structural cardiac remodeling or improve systolic function in this population.
What the research says
1 studyThe study confirms that taking 10 mg of melatonin nightly for six months does not change the heart's pumping ability or size in heart failure patients, even though it does improve other symptoms and quality of life.
