From: Evidence for a hyper-reductive redox in a sub-set of heart failure patients
Echocardiographic parameters for hyper-oxidative (HO), normal redox (NR), hyper-reductive (HR) and healthy controls (HC). a Statistically significant lower percentage of fractional shortening (FS) for HO, NR and HR groups of HF patients compared to HC. b Statistically significant lower percentage of ejection fraction for HO, NR and HR groups of heart failure patients compared to HC and c statistically significant higher LV mass for HO, NR and HR groups of heart failure patients compared to HC. One way ANOVA was carried out with a p < 0.01 vs. HC for a–c n = 7 HC, 22 HO, 18 NR and 9 HR. M-mode ECHO related parameters focusing on systolic functions and dimensions with ejection fraction (EF) and FS for d representative m-mode images for each group
