Evaluation of Iron Profiles and Coagulation Profiles in Ischemic Heart Diseases Patients in Elmer Nimr Hospital, Sudan

Abstract

Back ground chemic heart disease (IHD) isa constellation of diseases that includes stableangina,unstableangina,myocardialinfarction,andsuddencardiacdeath.It belongs to the group of cardiovascular diseases and is the most common type among them. Iron is an essential trace element .it plays an important role in maintaining various cellular function and enzymatic reactions. On the other hand, excessive intake of iron is known to be a risk factor for the progression of atherosclerosis. Abnormal iron deposition in the heart causes hem chromatists and dilated cardiomyopathy, which leads to is chemic heart disease .Objectives :This study aims to investigate the role of serum iron ,serum ferritin ,total iron-binding capacity(TIBC), PT, and PTT in is chemic heart disease(IHD)and their relationship with other risk factors for IHD This is a prospective, case-control, cross-sectional analytical study conducted at Elmer Narmer University Hospital, Shendi City, to assess their on profile and coagulation profile of patients with is chemic heart disease. The study included (30) patients diagnosed with is chemic hear the diseases and the study group was compared with the mean of the control group (20). Serum iron ,ferritin ,and TIBC were estimated using a Spectro photo meter ,and PT and PTT were estimated using manual methods. Data were collected using a structured personal questionnaire and the program (SPSS) version(11.5)was used for data analysis
