Objective: To determine whether exposure to environmental tobacco smoke was associated with oxidative stress among patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction. %26lt;br%26gt;Design: An existing cohort study of 1,261 patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction. %26lt;br%26gt;Setting: Nine acute hospitals in Scotland. %26lt;br%26gt;Participants: Sixty never smokers who had been exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (admission serum cotinine %26gt;= 3.0 ng/mL) were compared with 60 never smokers who had not (admission serum cotinine %26lt;= 0.1 ng/mL). %26lt;br%26gt;Intervention: None. %26lt;br%26gt;Main outcome measures:Three biomarkers of oxidative stress (protein carbonyl, malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidised low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)) were measured on admission blood samples and adjusted for potential confounders. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: After adjusting for baseline differences in age, sex and socioeconomic status, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke was associated with serum concentrations of both protein carbonyl (beta coefficient 7.96, 95% Cl 0.76, 15.17, p=0.031) and MDA (beta coefficient 10.57, 95% Cl 4.32, 16.81, p=0.001) but not ox-LDL (beta coefficient 2.14, 95% Cl -8.94, 13.21, p = 0.703). %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke was associated with increased oxidative stress. Further studies are requires to explore the role of oxidative stress in the association between environmental tobacco smoke and myocardial infarction.
