Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are major public health issues, with very high mortality rates. The evaluation of anti-DNA antibody levels in patients with cardiovascular diseases aims to explore potential links between these antibodies and biochemical markers associated with cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to evaluate the levels of anti-DNA antibodies and their relationship with biochemical parameters in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Relatively healthy donors (30) and patients with cardiovascular diseases (60) were selected to determine the levels of anti-DNA antibodies in plasma using the ELISA method. Biochemical indicators such as cholesterol levels, triglycerides, glucose, apolipoproteins (apoB), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and atherogenic index were measured using the automated biochemical analyzer. The results showed a dependency relationship between cardiovascular diseases, autoimmunity, and biochemical markers. The level of anti-DNA antibodies (ranging from 0.03 to 0.17 U) varied according to the different clinical forms of cardiovascular disease and exhibited correlations with certain biochemical markers. A relatively weak and negative linear relationship was observed between the atherogenic index and anti-DNA antibody levels in all patient groups. A direct dependency relationship was also recorded between anti-DNA antibody levels and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (Rs = 0.13). The results showed a dependency relationship between anti- dsDNA antibody levels and glucose levels (Rs = 0.12). The correlation between anti-DNA antibody levels and these biochemical markers could provide a better understanding of the role of immune responses in cardiovascular diseases and pave the way for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
