TL;DR
A decline in the ‘antioxidant gap’ after myocardial infarction was associated with a significantly higher mortality, and no significant changes in serum total antioxidant activity were observed in either group of patients between admission, day 1 and day 2.
Abstract
Serum total antioxidant activity (TAA), albumin and uric acid were measured on admission, and for the next 2 days in 56 patients suffering myocardial infarction, 20 of whom received streptokinase. The 'antioxidant gap', the difference between the serum TAA and the sum of the serum albumin and uric acid activity, was calculated. No significant changes in serum total antioxidant activity were observed in either group of patients between admission, day 1 and day 2. However, a decline in the 'antioxidant gap' after myocardial infarction was associated with a significantly higher mortality.

American Journal of Clinical NutritionInverse correlation between plasma vitamin E and mortality from ischemic heart disease in cross-cultural epidemiology
715 Citations1991KF Gey, Pekka Puska +2 more

624 Citations1987Pamela B. Garlick, Michael J. Davies +2 more
It is demonstrated that reperfusion after a period of ischemia results in a sudden increase in the production of free radicals in the myocardium, and ESR signals obtained are consistent with the spin-trapping by PBN of either a carbon-centered species or an alkoxyl radical, both of which could be formed by secondary reactions of initially-formed oxygen radicals with membrane lipid components.
