Is glutathione deficiency associated with functional status and structural cardiac abnormalities in patients with cardiac diseases?
Blood glutathione testing may serve as a novel biomarker to detect asymptomatic patients with structural cardiac abnormalities.
This study provides evidence that cardiac and systemic glutathione deficiency is related to the functional status and structural cardiac abnormalities of patients with cardiac diseases. These data also suggest that blood glutathione test may be an interesting new biomarker to detect asymptomatic patients with structural cardiac abnormalities.
Damy et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
