Determination of Selenium , Magnesium , and Malondialdehyde (MDA)for Ischemic Heart Disease Patients

Abstract

Abstract One hundred and nineteen ischemic heart disease (unstable angina and myocardial infarction ) patients (65 male and 54 female) aged between 40 to 85 years with a mean age of (61±11.27) were included in this study . The control group comprises one hundred twenty four healthy subjects (62 male and 62 female) aged between 30 to 60 years with a mean age of (36.37±7.72). The present study were included the measurements of two essential elements (Selenium and Magnesium) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) for patients suffering from ischemic heart disease. The work results show low levels of (Se and Mg) in the whole blood and serum of patients (58.21±6.72) ng/ml , (15.47±0.53) µg/ml respectively as compared with the mean values for control group (83.87±6.53) ng/ml , (22.79±0.76) µg/ml respectively with high significant differences (P˂0.001) between controls and patients groups. The level of (MDA) for controls was (2.08±0.16) mmol/l and (6.86±0.80) mmol/l for patients.
