Popis: Background: The co-occurrence of apathy and executive dysfunction, a correlate of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), is highly prevalent, yet facilitating factors are largely unknown. Objective: This study investigates the relationship between lipid peroxidation, apathy, and executive dysfunction in patients at risk for VCI. Methods: In participants with coronary artery disease, who are at a high risk of VCI, apathy (Apathy Evaluation Scale), and executive function (composite z-score based on age and education population norms from trails making test B, animal naming, and phonemic fluency tests) were assessed. Serum concentrations of an early (lipid hydroperoxide (LPH)) and late (8-isoprostane (8-ISO)) lipid peroxidation marker, were measured and the 8-ISO/LPH ratio was calculated. Results: Participants (n = 206, age±SD = 63.0±7.5, 80% men, total years of education = 15.9±3.4, AES score = 28.3±8.8, executive function = 0±1) demonstrated significantly different 8-ISO/LPH ratios between groups (F(3, 202) = 10.915, p
