Only two randomized controlled trials investigated the effect of metformin in nondiabetic heart failure (HF) patients. However, none of these studies assess the role of metformin in reducing oxidative stress. We hypothesized that metformin might improve oxidative stress and left ventricular remodeling in nondiabetic HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). <b><i>Methods and Methods:</i></b> Seventy HFrEF patients (EF 37% ± 8%; median age 66 years) were randomized to metformin (<i>n</i> = 35) or standard of care (SOC) for HF (<i>n</i> = 35) for 6 months in addition to standard therapy. Outcomes included the difference in the change (Δ) in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA), both assessed colorimetrically and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) assessed through transthoracic echocardiography. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Compared with the SOC, metformin treatment increased TAC [Δ = 0.12 mmol/L, confidence intervals (95% CIs): 0.03-0.21; <i>P</i> = 0.007].
