title: [Free oxygen radicals and their role in the etiopathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: The role of the oxygen free radicals in etiopathogenesis of cardiovascular system diseases is described. The participation of free radicals in the heart muscle injury in the course of ischemia and reperfusion is also shown. In addition, the significance of antioxidant vitamins and substances in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular system diseases is presented.
