Background: We previously found that higher NADPH levels produced by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) can enhance myocardial superoxide generation by NAD(P)H oxidase in a dog model of dilated cardiomyopathy. Therefore, we tested whether G6PD activity is elevated and enhances NADPH level and increases NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide production in the myocardium from patients with heart failure from ischemic cardiomyopathy.Methods and Results: Surgical discards of left ventricle were collected from 8 congestive heart failure patients undergoing surgical ventricular restoration procedures, whereas control left ventricle tissue was obtained from 5 normal donor hearts deemed not suitable for transplantation. Biochemical assays were performed in tissue homogenates. We found that superoxide and hydrogen peroxide were elevated, respectively, by 9- and 3-fold in failing versus normal hearts (P
