Abstract
Experimental studies indicate that oxygen-free radicals contribute to ischemic myocardial damage and affect electric properties of cellular membranes. We hypothesize that an association exists between an oxygen-free radical-induced component of myocardial ischemic injury and altered electric function that underlies the genesis of ventricular late potentials in the course of myocardial infarction. If so, antioxidant vitamins C and E may prevent alterations in the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG). To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of supplementation with vitamins C and E on the indices of the SAECG in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Sixty-one patients with AMI were randomized to receive conventional treatment and vitamins C and E, each 600 mg/day, orally for 14 days (supplemented group, n = 33) or conventional treatment only (control group, n = 28). SAECG was recorded on days 1 or 2 and between days 9 and 13 (mean 10). Serum ascorbic acid, tocopherol, plasma lipid peroxides, and oxygen-free radical production by isolated leukocytes were measured on days 1 or 2 and between days 12 and 14. In the control group, SAECG showed an increase in mean QRS and low-amplitude ( < 40 microV) signal d...Continue Reading
