total CK , CK-MB , CVDAbstract
The current study follows the role of some adjustable factors, and this includes High percentage of Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), Hypertension, obesity(BMI), vitamin D levels and the competitive with total CK and CK-MB in progression and worsening with cardio-vascular disease (CVD). It was aimed to determine levels total CK , CK-MB and verifying their relationship with some modifiable risk factors and follow-up of condition myocardial throughout the measurements of CK-MB relative index in CVD patients. The study included 60 subject divided into two groups, 30 healthy individuals as a control group, 30 patients with cardiovascular disease(CVD) which were previously diagnosed. Samples were collected from patients at Heart Center and Private Clinics in Thi-Qar City, during June 2024 to November 2024. Blood samples were collected from patients and healthy after fasting for at least 8 hours. Vitamin D, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the total CK- enzyme and the enzyme isoenzyme CK-MB were determined using ELIS.A.
