Association of low-density lipoprotein oxidation to abnormal electrocardiographic late potentials.
In vivo oxidation of low-density lipoprotein is shown to be significantly related to another risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis, abnormal electrocardiographic late potentials, in clinically healthy pilots. Because both of these variables have been also associated with cardiac arrhythmogenic action, together they may improve the identification of patients at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
