Risk of coronary artery disease and its association with high serum Ferritin
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the major causes of death in India. Various factors contribute for atherogenesis. In the present study serum ferritin association was studied in CAD patients and control subjects. Significantly higher levels of serum ferritin were reported in CAD patients [45.37(±54.43)] than controls in [123.43(± 148.65)]. Association of serum ferritin has been observed in CAD patients with other co morbidities like type 2 diabetes and hypertension. A significant correlation has been noted between serum ferritin and fasting blood sugar (FBS), Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Conclusion: The present study observed that serum ferritin levels were increased in CAD patients but it has also been noted that a significant correlation of serum ferritin levels was observed with glucose profile.
