Abstract Background d-ROMs test developed to determine the degree of individual oxidative stress may predict cardiovascular events. Methods and Results 265 patients (204 men, 61 women; age, 65 ± 13 years) who had been treated for cardiovascular disease were divided evenly by quartile of baseline d-R...
