Why the study?
Systemic oxidative stress plays a key role in chronic heart failure development, leading investigators to test whether mitochondrial ROS generation in circulating PBMCs contributes to CHF progression.
Is mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation in circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells associated with disease severity and exercise intolerance in patients with chronic heart failure?
Is mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation in circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells associated with disease severity and exercise intolerance in patients with chronic heart failure?
Mitochondrial ROS generation in circulating PBMCs is elevated in advanced heart failure and correlates with both disease severity and exercise intolerance, suggesting a role in CHF progression.

Should not yet change practice; leaves open whether PBMC mitochondrial ROS drives or merely tracks CHF severity.
