| Main Objective: This study aims to analyze the time-dependent activity of N-acetylcysteine (oral vs i.v. administration comparison) on the levels of Cys-HSA and on the plasma antioxidant capacity in subjects with redox unbalance.;Secondary Objective: NA;Primary end point(s): Evaluation of the efficacy of NAC treatment on the levels of cistenylated albumin, a parameter of oxidative stress, measured by mass spectrometry, in patients with heart failure comparing the two groups (NAC vs placebo).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Pre and post administration oper os and iv | — |
