Oxygen Radicals in the Pathophysiology of Heart Disease

Oxygen Radicals in the Pathophysiology of Heart Disease edited by Pawan K. Singal.

Over two centuries ago, oxygen was discovered as "air vital": the component of the earth's atmosphere necessary for life. Less than five years after this discovery, it was found that oxygen was both a life-sustaining and life threatening inhalant as it plays a role in the two extremes...
