    AbstractOxidant injury contributes to myocardial stunning, and cardiac ischemic and reperfusion injury. Vitamin E is the major--and perhaps the only--lipid soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant in the heart. Vitamin E and its analogues potentially offer significant advantages for the prevention of ischemic and reperfusion injury. Recent investigations have suggested that modified vitamin E analogues may be more efficacious than vitamin E and may permit myocardial salvage from acute myocardial ischemic injury.
