Background: Oxidative stress is increased in the failing heart, and this might contribute to the pathogenesis of myocardial remodelling and heart failure (HF).Aim: To identify the oxidized proteins in plasma of chronic HF patients and to evaluate their possible role in endothelial damage.Methods: Plasma levels of oxidized proteins were measured by immunoassay and by analysis in albumin and immumoglobulin depleted plasma using a proteomic approach, in 40 HF patients and in 20 age-matched normal subjects. Analysis of the effects of proteins oxidized in vitro on human endothelial cell (EC) viability was also performed.Results: Plasma levels of oxidized proteins were significantly higher in HF patients than in controls (p
