[Effect of the bicycle ergometry test on lipid peroxidation processes in patients with ischemic heart disease]

The effect of bicycle ergometry on lipid peroxidation was examined in 43 coronary patients. An increase in malonic dialdehyde, a secondary product of lipid peroxidation, was detected in patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis, an evidence of intensified lipid peroxidation in systemic tissues. It is proposed that natural antioxidants be used to prevent myocardial metabolic disorders in coronary patients.
