Comparison of inflammatory cells, C-reactive protein, and lipid profile in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease patients and healthy controls in Northwest Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains a leading cause of global mortality and disability. Inflammation is increasingly recognized as a key driver in the pathogenesis of ASCVD. However, data on the specific distribution of inflammatory cells, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and lipid profiles among ASCVD patients in this region remain limited. Therefore, we aimed to assess the distribution of inflammatory cells, hsCRP, and lipid profile among ASCVD patients and healthy controls. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from June to November 2024 at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, recruiting 101 ASCVD patients and 101 healthy controls using simple random sampling. Sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical data were collecte
