Summary

Atherosclerosis and its related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, underlie many chronic diseases. Most atherosclerotic patients have multiple cardiovascular risk factors, which potentiate each other, causing a huge burden on health systems. In order to improve the understanding and treatment options of atherosclerosis, it is necessary to identify common basic pathways in its pathogenesis. Oxidative Stress (OS) has a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis; however, good biomarkers to determine OS are still missing.
