2016, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Physicians need to be more careful for the patients with the suspicion of APE because the clinical presentation of APE is often nonspecific and equivocal [2]. Although a lot of markers including cardiac troponin, and brain natriuretic peptide have been studied in the setting of APE and significant reduction in morbidity and mortality of APE has been achieved in recent years, there is still a gap in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and management strategy of APE [3-6]. Oxidative stress occurs as a result of degradation the balance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense system [7].
