| The myocardium of the left ventricle is most affected as it has the largest metabolic demand and so the largest production of anti-oxidants and the greatest need for Vitamin E/Selenium. This manifests clinically as left sided heart failure with clinical signs: | | The myocardium of the left ventricle is most affected as it has the largest metabolic demand and so the largest production of anti-oxidants and the greatest need for Vitamin E/Selenium.
