Materials and Methods: 80 patients (22 women, 58 men) with known IHD (Myocardial Infarction) were selected and body iron stores was estimated by titration of serum iron and ferritin and TIBC.
Results: According to This research. Patients with atherosclerosis had no higher iron stores and there was not a meaning full relationship between Iron body stores and atherosclerosis.
Conclusion: In base of our study, iron body stores hasn’t clear interrelationship with atherosclerosis (ATS) process.
