Abstract

Objectives Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. Oxidative stress has been proved to play a role in atherosclerotic diseases and 8-isoprostane is one of the most valid markers of in-vivo oxidative stress. We aimed to investigate the 8-isoprostane levels in relation to surrogate and direct angiographic indexes of atherosclerosis.
