Evaluation of some trace elements levels in sera of patients with Angina Pectoris in Erbil city
Abstract
Background: Angina pectoris(AP) is one of the most prevalent diseases in developed countries and is becoming an area of increasing
concern in other parts of the world. Among the several causes of the disease alteration in the levels of trace elements are also
important.
Objectives : This study was undertaken in order to investigate the serum trace elements level in patients with Angina pectoris
compared to healthy individuals, and to find whether there is any relationship between serum trace elements levels and patients
with Angina pectoris..
Methods: The study involved 50 patients with Angina pectoris(AP) for evaluation of these trace elements level ( Se Cu, Zn ,Fe& Cr
) as well as TG, TC and LDL-C and HDL as compared with 50 control subjects .
Results The results indicate that patients exhibited significant decrease in the serum of selinum(Se),zinc(Zn), copper(Cu),
chromium(Cr) and iron(Fe) level (p<0.001) as compared to the healthy controls. TG, TC and LDL-C were elevated in patients and
HDL-C was lower in our patients,
Conclusions. Deficiency or suboptimal levels of micronutriants( Se ,Cu, Zn ,Fe& Cr ) may play a role in the development of Angina
pectoris(AP). Measurement of serum trace elements level l might provide additional and useful laboratory test for the assessment
of the patients with Angina pectoris and oral trace elements may have a role in therapy.
