| Abstract | ||
| Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It's the leading cause of death in the developed countries and other parts of the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate antioxidant status (vitamin E, vitamin C and bilirubin) and CRP in 50 patients with (CAD) (Age range: 40 -55 years) and in (40) healthy subjects. The status of antioxidants in serum as represented by bilirubin levels decreased significantly (p<0.01) in the conditions of coronary artery disease (CAD), than their controls, also we evaluated in this study the concentration of vitamin E and vitamin C in coronary artery disease. Patients with (CAD) showed significantly (p<0.05) lower vitamins concentrations than controls. Furthermore, we assessed the levels of CRP in patients with coronary artery disease compared with healthy. CRP levels were significantly higher (p<0.05) in patients compared with healthy subjects. | ||
