Why the study?
Few studies have explored the association between total antioxidant capacity and left ventricular geometry in patients with HFrEF.
Population
Consecutive stabilized HFrEF patients on optimal or maximally tolerated medications
Comparison
Tertiles of total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde, and glycemic status
Design
Cross-sectional study

May support oxidative stress and glycemic monitoring in HFrEF; leaves open causal links to LV remodeling.
Total antioxidant capacity and prediabetes/diabetes are significantly associated with adverse left ventricular geometry in patients with HFrEF, suggesting oxidative stress and glycemic status are linked to disease severity.
Kamel et al. (2023) studied this question.
