Urinary 8-Hydroxy-2'-Deoxyguanosine as a Myocardial Oxidative Stress Marker Is Associated With Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Active Cardiac Sarcoidosis [Cardiomyopathies]

Conclusions—
U-8-OHdG levels are associated with VT in patients with active CS diagnosed by 18F-flurodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography, providing additive and relevant information about the arrhythmia substrate.
