Abstract:
The objective of this study is to assess Interleukin-17 in cardiovascular patients. This study was conducted in the heart center in Thi-Qar Governorate, during the period between1/12/2023 to 1/4/2024. The study was investigated to measure Interleukin-17 (IL-17) levels in the serum using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The study included 100 participants: 50 patients with heart and vascular diseases and 50 healthy subjects serving as controls. The statistical analysis showed a significant increase in serum the mean concentration of (IL-17) in patients (10.90±4.28) pg/ml compared to the healthy control group (8.108±3.72) pg/ml with a statistically significant difference (P=0.001). So, it is concluded that the high level of IL-17 in the serum has to do with cardiovascular diseases.
