Background and objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) associates with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Hypertension is a major determinant of progression of CKD. Omega-3 fatty acids (omega 3FA) protect against CVD via improvements in blood pressure, heart rate, vascular reactivity and serum lipids. Coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ) may improve blood pressure and vascular function. This study determined whether omega 3FA and CoQ have independent or additive effects in improving the cardiovascular profile, particularly blood pressure and heart rate, in nondiabetic patients with CKD stages 3-4.Methods In a double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention, patients were randomized to either omega 3FA (4 g), CoQ (200 mg), both supplements or control (4 g), daily for 8 weeks.Results Eighty-five patients aged 56.5 +/- 1.4 years; BMI 27.3 +/- 0.5 kg/m(2); supine blood pressure 125.0/72.3 mmHg; and glomerular filtration rate 35.8 +/- 1.2 ml/min/1.73 m(2), were randomized. Seventy-four completed the study. omega 3FA, but not CoQ, reduced 24-h ambulatory heart rate (P
