Objectives: Determination of the prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) in patients with angiographically defined coronary artery disease (CAD+) by a modified PAB assay and presentation of PAB value as a novel cardiovascular risk factor.Design and methods: For 61 patients with CAD+ and 63 healthy volunteers, the PAB were measured and its correlation was determined with anthropological and clinical parameters.Results: A significant increase of the PAB value was observed in patients in comparison to control group. A correlation, which is not quite significant, was noted between angiographic finding (number of diseased vessel) and the PAB values in patients. A significant positive correlation was established between the PAB value and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, smoking, fasting blood sugar and serum urea concentration; and a significant negative correlation was established between PAB value and serum creatinine and bilirubin.Conclusions: This study shows that the PAB value may be considered as a cardiovascular risk factor. Further clinical research is needed to substantiate the potency of the PAB value as a cardiovascular risk factor. (c) 2008 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists. Published by Elsevier Inc.
