Abstract

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. It is within the cluster of cardiovascular conditions of which it is the multiple expected kinds. Iron is an essential trace element. It has a pivotal role in maintaining various cellular functions and enzyme reactions; whereas, iron overload has been known as a risk factor in the progression of atherosclerosis. Abnormal deposition of iron in the heart cause hemochromatosis and dilated cardiomyopathy and this causes ischemic heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the role of serum iron, serum ferritin, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) in the causation of coronary heart disease (CHD) and their relationship with other risk factors of CHD. Methods: This is a cross-sectional case-control prospective analytical study conducted at Al-Mc Nemir University Hospital in Shendi town to evaluate the iron profile in ischaemic heart disease patients in the period between (March 2018—July 2018). The study included (50) patients who were diagnosed with ischaemic heart disease and the study groups were compared with a mean of the normal value. Serum iron, ferritin, and TIBC were estimated by spectrophotometer. Data was collected using a structured face-to-face questionnaire and the (SPSS) version (11.5) program was used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that the ischaemic heart disease patients were; (40%) male and (60%) female, and the mean age was (57.612 ± 28.24), with a range of (36-65) years distributed as (96%). The study showed that the mean of s. iron was 203.9ug/dl (p.value 0.170), the mean of s. ferritin was 207.6ug/dl(p.value 0.447), the mean of TIBC was 663.0ug/dl( p.value 0.281) when compare with the mean of normal value. No significant difference was found between iron profile and CHD. Serum iron and serum ferritin levels are elevated in patients with CHD when compared with normal values. TIBC levels were lower in patients than normal values. When body iron was analogized with different risk factors (like smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, tobacco, etc) of the condition it was found to be seriously raised. Conclusion: The study concluded that the level of serum iron, ferritin, and TIBC might not be associated with coronary heart disease.
