Evaluation of the Relation Between Serum and Salivary Fibronectin With Some Cardiac Parameters in Patients With Myocardial Infarction in Samarra City

Abstract

Present study conducted on fifty myocardial infarction patients (32 males,18 female) their ages ranged between 40-70 years attended to Samarra General Hospital for the period between  1^st of September 2019 to the 9^th of June 2020. The control group was twenty five of apparently healthy person. The level of serum and salivary fibronectin ,serum cardiac enzyme activities include [Creatine Kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and Troponin (TR)]. The results revealed that there is significant elevation in serum fibronectin level (p≤0.05) in myocardial infarction patients (5.771 ±1.461 ng/ ml) compared to control group (0.374 ±0.089 ng/ ml).Salivary fibronectin was significantly(P≤0.05) lower in myocardial infarction patients  (0424 ±0.110 ng/ ml) than control group (9.775 ±2.808 ng/ ml). Troponin (TR), Lactate dehydrogenase LDH, Creatine Kinase CK, activities were significantly (P≤0.05) higher in myocardial infarction patients (4.9375±1.4664) ng/ml, (417.32±101.074), (428.44±107.627) IU/L  respectively as compared to control group (TR=0.0099±0.0009) ng/cm3, (LDH=152.12±16.486), (CK= 87.48±22.044) IU/L.
