Relations of Trace and Major Elements with Cardiovascular Diseases

الملخص

Back ground and objective: Considerable research has been directed towards the associations
between Zn,Cu, Mg & the incidence of CVD in 40 patients aged 45–67 y of both sexes,the
objectives of this study were to measure the levels of selected parameters in patients group and
compared with 25 apparently healthy adults as a control group , furthermore , compared between
patient groups MI N= 20 ,HT N = 20, find –out the sex effect, in addition, evaluate the
correlation between these elements.
METHODS:This study was performed at College of Pharmacy/ Hawler Medical University in
period between 15/1/2010 - 30/10/2010 the studied parameters were measured by atomic
absorption spectrophotometer in Baghdad /Ministry of Science and Technology /Department
Researches of Chemistry.
RESULTS :The results of the patients group were Zn=0.54 ug/ml±0.13,Cu= 0.78ug/ml ±030
,Mg=11.67±2.12 as compared with the control group ,their results were Zn= 0.745 ± 0.14 ,Cu=
0.96± 0.004, Mg= 18 ±3.The results of this study were statistically significantly decreased in
patients group as compared with the control group P<0.001.
CONCLUSIONS: There were a statistical significant decrease in the studied parameters in patient
groups as compared with the control group P<0.001.
