Estimation of Oxidative Stress Involvement by Superoxide Dismutase Variation in Cardiac Arrhythmias.

Unlabelled: Cardiac arrhythmias, commonly diagnosed in young people, involve multiple etiopathogenic factors, including oxidative stress.

Purpose: Evaluation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) variations as an antioxidant enzyme (with a physiological role in the dismutation of highly reactive oxygen free radicals into oxygen and water) in young patients with cardiac arrhythmias.

Material And Method: The study was conducted on a group of 40 young patients with a mean age of 34 years old, of both sexes, with non-lesional cardiac dysrhythmias, compared to a control group of 40 healthy subjects, determining for both groups the SOD serum level.
