Oxidative Stress, Antioxidant Capacity, and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Idiopathic Complete Heart Block by Shobhit Shah, Monika Bhandari, Pravesh Vishwakarma, Wahid Ali, Mohammad Kaleem Ahmad, Abhishek Singh, Ayush Shukla, Akhil Kumar Sharma, Gaurav Chaudhary, Akshyaya Pradhan, Sharad Chandra, Rishi Sethi, S. K. Dwivedi

“…Total antioxidant capacity levels(TOAC) (P = 0.025), GSH (P = 0.027), CAT (P = 0.003), and SOD (P = 0.891) were considerably lower in patients during a CHB compared to the healthy control group, indicating that an increase in oxidative free radicals leads to endothelial dysfunction. High significant increases in MDA (P ≤ 0.001) were indicative of increased reactive oxygen species-mediated tissue damage. …”
