Cardiovascular Diseases Correlation with Antioxidants in Hilla City, Iraq

Mufeed J Ewadh, Monem M Alshok, Mena Y Abid

Abstract


Cardiovascular disease (CVD) covers any disease of the circulatory system, namely the heart (cardio) or blood vessels (vascular), includes heart attack, angina and peripheral vascular heart disease, however antioxidants are vital substances that possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals induce oxidative stress. This study aimed to find out the possible mechanisms of correlation between CVD and antioxidants. The results showed that total protein (TP),total antioxidant status (TAS), albumin levels, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) have significance decreased in patients compared to control the group.
