[Malondialdehyde and reduced glutathione increase in patients with chronic stable ischaemic cardiopathy].

Background And Objective: Cardiovascular diseases are associated with the ischemia/reperfusion phenomena and therefore to the oxidation/antioxidation balance. The aim of this study was to determine malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, glutathione, ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acid in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease.

Patients And Method: 32 male patients, with chronic ischemic heart disease, between 40 and 60 years of age were studied.
