Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. The root cause of CAD is mainly atherosclerosis. It seems to be a chronic inflammatory condition, which later develops into an acute clinical event by the induction of plaque rupture, causing thrombosis. Ceruloplasmin is the major copper-carrying protein in the blood and in addition plays a role in iron metabolism. Objective: To assess the predictive value of ceruloplasmin and high-sensitivite C-reactive protein in diagnosis of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Patients and methods: The study was conducted on 60 patients presented with clinical features of coronary artery diseases, admitted to Cardiology Department at Sayed Galal University Hospital, throught the period from July 2017 and March 2020, and they were classified according to coronary angiography into 3 subgroups (one, two, multi-vessel disease). They were compared with 20 healthy individuals with identical demographic characteristics not suffering from any disease. Serum ceruloplasmin and serum hs-CRP levels were measured in both groups. Results: A significant increase in serum ceruloplasmin and hs-CRP levels were observed in all patients of coronary artery disease as compared to control group (p=<0.001). Conclusion: In patients of CAD, the serum ceruloplasmin and hs-CRP levels rise due to their property as acute phase proteins.
