After a short review of the data on the free radicals occurring in the human body (hydroxyl radical, superoxide, nitric acid, peroxynitrite), the possible effects of these radical upon the cardiovascular system are presented. The preservation of the oxidants-antioxidants balance is highly important for preventing the cardiovascular diseases. Endogenous antioxidants are not 100 per cent effective, reason why for the individuals with atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease antioxidant supplements (tocopherols, carotenes, vitamin C, selenium) are essential especially during the seasons when diets are deficient in fruits and vegetables.
在简要回顾了人体中出现的自由基（羟基自由基、超氧化物、硝酸、过氧亚硝酸盐）的数据后，介绍了这些自由基对心血管系统可能产生的影响。保持氧化剂 - 抗氧化剂平衡对于预防心血管疾病非常重要。内源性抗氧化剂并非100%有效，因此对于患有动脉粥样硬化和缺血性心脏病的个体，抗氧化剂补充剂（生育酚、类胡萝卜素、维生素C、硒）至关重要，尤其是在饮食中缺乏水果和蔬菜的季节。
