Insights
This study measured blood copper levels in cardiovascular disease patients undergoing coronary angiography. Results compared copper concentrations between normal and abnormal angiography groups using ICP-OES analysis.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Analytical Chemistry
Background:
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality globally.
- Copper is an essential trace element involved in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular health.
- Alterations in copper metabolism have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To quantify and compare blood copper (Cu) levels in patients with and without abnormal coronary angiography findings.
- To investigate the potential association between copper concentration and the presence of coronary artery disease.
Main Methods:
- Blood samples were collected from patients undergoing coronary angiography at Bushehr's university hospital, Iran.
- Patients were categorized into two groups: normal angiography and abnormal angiography.
- Inductively coupled plasma optical spectrometry (ICP-OES) was employed to determine copper concentrations after chemical digestion of samples.
Main Results:
- The study presents data on copper levels in the blood of the studied patient cohorts.
- Quantitative data on copper concentrations were obtained for both normal and abnormal angiography groups.
Conclusions:
- The data article provides a valuable resource for understanding copper levels in the context of cardiovascular disease and coronary angiography.
- Further research can utilize this data to explore the role of copper in cardiovascular health and disease progression.
Abstract:
In this data article, we measured the levels of copper in the blood of patients undergoing coronary angiography. The samples were taken from patients with cardiovascular disease in Bushehr׳s university hospital, Iran. Patients were divided in two groups: normal angiography and abnormal angiography. After the chemical digestion of samples, the concentration levels of Cu in both groups were determined by using inductively coupled plasma optical spectrometry (ICP-OES).

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
