Iron levels in coronary heart disease patients without known risk factors
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Coronary heart disease is a common disease after adolescence. Strong epidemiological evidence is available that iron is an important factor in coronary artery disease. Therefore this study was done to assess the relationship between iron stores and coronary artery disease. Materials and methods: 208 subjects with cardiovascular disease were included in the study. Personal information was collected by a questionnaire, and blood samples were taken to measure HB, HCT, TIBC, ferritin and iron. Results: 110 (52.9%) of participants were female and 98 (47.1%) were male. Average age of participants was 63.5. Average ferritin level in males was 127.41µg/ml and in females was 108.214 µg/ml. Iron level in males was 93.70 µg/ml and 84.71 µg/ml in females. Results showed a significant correlation between age and ferritin and iron levels. Conclusion: The findings indicate that high age is associated with an increase in iron stores. This phenomenon has been linked to several common diseases, such as cardiovascular disease. Therefore, our results indicate that high iron level a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

ischaemic death is considered, it is the association of thrombosis with atherosclerosis that is paramount. It is important to understand the concepts of ‘plaque’ burden; the average number of plaques in the coronary arteries and the nature of plaques appear to determine the incidence of CHD. The level of inflammatory activity in the plaque makes it vulnerable and may lead to precipitation of th...

For evaluating the role of behavior pattern and emotional factors in coronary heart disease (CHD), 86 patients were followed for one to three years (average 20 months). The behavior pattern itself was not considered as a main risk factor, rather it was found to be an aggravating and predisposing factor, especially in morbidity rate. Both behavior patterns were more common in males than in ...
