  Background: Many chronic conditions, as diabetes (DM) and cardiovascular Diseases suffer Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE): i myocarditis, congestive heart failure (CHF), Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Acute Coronary Syndromes [ACSs], and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) Acute infections, like COVID-19 also involve oxidative stress, leading to increased Sympathetic tone (S) and decreased Parasympathetic tone (P), increasing Sympathovagal Balance (SB) and MACE. The antioxidant (r)alpha lipoic acid (ALA) improves SB. The antianginal Ranolazine (RAN), also an antioxidant is an anti-arrhythmic. Our studies of their effects on MACE in DM, and non-DM patients with CHF, ventricular arrhythmias and SCD are reviewed herein, as our findings may apply to acute diseases, such as COVID-19. Methods: In a case-control study, 109 C.. Read More»
