Association between iron status and incident coronary artery disease: a population based-cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Disorders of iron metabolism has been implicated in cardiovascular disease. However, the association of serum iron stores and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains inconsistent. Here, we investigated the associations of serum iron metabolism with the incidence of CAD, the severity of coronary artery stenosis, metabolic biomarkers, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). A total of 643 CAD patients and 643 healthy controls were enrolled to assess the associations of serum iron status with the presence of CAD, the severity of CAD, and the risk of MACE. Serum iron metabolism and other metabolic markers were measured in all subjects. All statistical analyses were analyzed using SPSS22.0 software and STATA statistical package. Serum level of iron metabolism markers, including
