MEASUREMENT OF PLASMA HOMOCYSTIENE LEVEL AMONG SUDANESE PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentration is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and may also be associated with hypertension. Aim: The aim of this study is to measure the plasma homocysteine level among Sudanese patients with cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods: Across sectional study design was performed in Sudan Center Of Heart, Khartoum state, Sudan. A total of 30 samples were collected from cardiovascular disease patients, with exclusion of patients with other chronic diseases that affect the homocysteine. The data were compared by using statistical analysis performed with statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 11.5 by using one sample T test. Results: The study showed that the mean of plasma homocysteine level in patients with cardiovascular disease by micromole per liter is (14.980) which was slightly increase compared to normal range 5-14μmol/L, and the result is statistically significant different from the mean of normal values (P-value0.00). Conclusion: Plasma homocysteine is slightly increased among Sudanese patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
