Oxidative Profile of Patients with ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Patients with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) have totally occluded vessels, while patients with non-ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) present partial vessel occlusion, which may generate different levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the oxidative profile in AMI patients with ST segment elevation and non-STEMI as well as control subjects.

Methods: This study was carried with 46 AMI patients divided into STEMI and NSTEMI.
