title: [The final state of lipid peroxidation and antioxidation activity in blood system of elderly patients with cardiovascular pathology].
abstract: The state of lipid peroxidation and antioxidation activity in blood system of 118 elderly patients with some forms of cardiovascular pathology was analyzed 2-4 days before death due to various causes--cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, malignant tumours. Distinct differences in the state of lipid peroxidation and antioxidation activity in blood system was revealed as regards to some forms of cardiovascular pathology and combinations of cardiovascular pathology with other diseases, in particular malignant tumours. Most aggressive changes of indexes in the lipid peroxidation were registered in patients with ischemic strokes. Exhaustion of the lipid peroxidation and slow downfall of the antioxidation activity was registered in patients with non-cerebral cardiovascular pathology. High activity of the lipid peroxidation and exhaustion of the antioxidation activity was registered in patients with combinations cardiovascular pathology and malignant tumors. These changes of indexes can be used as criterions of the differential diagnosis and the prognosis.
