Vitamin C may decrease cardiac enzyme levels in patients undergoing elective PCI or CABG. This may be explained partially by its antioxidant effects. Our findings encourage further research on vitamin C administration during cardiac procedures and in other clinical contexts that increase the level of cardiac enzymes. Future studies should search for an optimal dosing regimen, taking baseline and follow-up plasma vitamin C levels into account.
