Abstract
Study samples comprised of 800 patients/subjects and were selected from Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. One-half of them were males and another half were females. Each gender was classed into two age groups, i.e., above 50 years of age and below 50 years of age. Each subgroup of age was further spliced into four categories of heart disease or associated risk factors (angina, angina with coexistent diabetes, hypertension, and myocardial infarction). A group of 50 normal individuals was also included in each subgroup. The control subjects (healthy individuals: males and females) were selected from among apparently healthy subjects. Informed consent was obtained from all participants of the study. The study was approved by Ethical Committee of Institute of Chemistry, University of the Punjab, Lahore.
