Abstract
Post-infarction heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) determines a great morbidity and mortality, and given the physiopathology implications of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the genesis of myocardial dysfunction. As known endothelial dysfunction is an independent predictor for cardiovascular disease. L-Arginine is the amino acid with potential to improve endothelial function which leading to prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and we think that L-Arginine may decrease the serum AGEs. We aimed to estimate the value of AGEs in post-infarction HFpEF patients, and detect the effect of L-Arginine on the serum level of AGEs in post-infarction HFpEF pts. all individuals (25) included aged 40 to 80 years, 20(80%) males and 5(20%) females were diagnosed with (HFpEF) according to ESC guidelines (2012), and their functional class according to NYHA classification for HF. 20(80%) patients of them have ...
