Abstract

AIMS: To evaluate the prognostic significance of oxidative stress on the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs: cardiac and all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization-PTCA/CABG) in CAD. METHODS: We studied 97 angiographically proven CAD patients (78 males, age: 67±11 years, mean± SD). Reactive oxygen metabolites and total antioxidant status, assessed by commercially assays (d-ROMs and OXY-Adsorbent Test; Diacron, Grosseto, GR, Italy), were used to calculate the oxidant/antioxidant balance. Patient data were collected from the Institute's electronic databank, which saves demographic, clinical, instrumental and follow-up data of all patients admitted to our department. RESULTS: Kaplan-Meier survival estimates showed a significantly worst outcome in patients presenting with elevated oxidative stress levels (>75th percentile, p<0.01). Multivariate Cox models showed that a higher level of oxidative stress was an independent predictor of developing MACEs (hazard ratio=2.1, confidence intervals 1.2-3.6, p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Oxidative stress may represent a useful additional tool in the prediction of MACE in CAD.

  • A reduction in elevated CRP and reactive oxygen metabolites is associated with a reduction in major cardiovascular events.

    “there is evidence to suggest that a reduction in elevated CRP 79 and reactive oxygen metabolites 80 is associated with a reduction in major cardiovascular events.”

    From <scp>Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists</scp> improve biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials (2021) · cites this paper as [80]

    The Results (page not provided) show that patients with higher baseline oxidative stress had more major adverse cardiovascular events; reactive oxygen metabolites were one component of the index measured. The paper does not show that reducing metabolite levels reduces events: it measured baseline levels and followed patients for outcomes. CRP is attached to a different citation in the citing sentence and is not judged here. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
