| Abstract | ||
| One hundred thirty-five specimens of serum were used in this study, eighty of them having cardiovascular dysfunctions (Angina, Myocardial infarction and heart failure ), compared with fifty-five normal healthy persons. Male and female were subjected to this study, with age ranging from (51-73). There was no other risk factor of cardiovascular disease like diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. BMI, WHR, FFA, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL were determined for each specimen, the results showed that that BMI and WHR were significantly elevated in sera of male and female patients in G1, G2 and G3 (except male) than male and female normal individuals. Also the levels of FFA are significantly increased in sera of patient of G1. Cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL were significantly elevated in sera of patients with myocardial failure( MI) , heart failure(HF) and Angina individuals than normal subject for both sexes (except N.S elevated of the levels of LDL and triglycerides in sera of male patient with HF and angina respectively ). While the levels of HDL are significantly decreased in sera of patients with MI (male and Female) , HF (male and Female) and angina (male and female). From the results that obtained from this study we can conclude that the mean value of BMI ,WHR , cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL were markedly increased in sera of patients individuals with Cardiovascular disease (CVD). while the Free fatty acids-FFA only elevated in sera of male patients with angina | ||
