| Abstract | ||
| background and objectives : Recent scientific interest has focused on abnormalities in mineral metabolism and those abnormalities may play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases . The hypothesis that trace element status influences the risk of adverse clinical outcomes is worthy of investigation.Therefore, we performed this study on the basis of the existing hypothesis that serum level of Mn,Co,Ca.Fe were inversely associated with prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in 40 patients (20 with hypertension,20 with myocardial infarction), to confirm this possible associations compared with control group (N= 25) , study the sex-effect on the level of these trace elements.. Methods: This study was done at college of pharmacy/ Hawler Medical University in period between 15/1/2010 – 20 /12 /2010and the concentrations of studied parameters were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer in Baghdad / at Ministry of Science and Technology. Results: The serum values of Mn, Co, Ca ,Fe in patients group were 0.0113 ug/ml±0.00070, 0.012 ± 0.0014 , 61.4118±10.16 , 0.6721± 0.14956 respectively, compared with the control group , 0.025±0.0032, 0.03 ±0.02 , 90±11 , 1.1±0.12 respectively.The results were significantly decreased in patients group as compared with the control group P<0.001. CONCLUSIONS: There were a significant decreased in the studied parameters of patients with CVD. Keywords: Trace Elements | ||
