Introduction: Ischemia-reperfusion is a main cause of oxidative stress during coronary artery bypass grafting and subsequently a risk factor for arterial fibrillation (AF). Methods: We investigated the antioxidative effect of a vitamin cocktail composed of ascorbic acid (Mel-C®) and alpha-tocopherole (Tocovenös®) as well as supplementation with omega-3-fatty acids (Omegaven®). All registered products were purchased from Fresenius-Kabi, Graz, Austria. Subjects (n=75) were divided into Controls (C=20), Vitamins (V=19), Poly-unsaturated fatty acids [PUFAs] (O=19) and PUFAs plus Vitamins (VO=17). Results: Peroxides…
