Abstract Objective: It was the aim of this study to investigate the serum oxidative stress level in nonischemic patients with heart failure (HF). Subjects and Methods: The study included 37 patients who presented to the Department of Cardiology, Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey, with a diagnosis of asymptomatic HF (New York Heart Association class I– II). The patients had a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) of ≤40% and normal coronary arteries or nonsignificant stenosis (stenosis
