ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent a major public health concern due to their increasing prevalence and significant impact on health outcomes. To prevent the development of such complications, we focused on studying modifiable and non-modifiable factors involved in their progression. This study was conducted on 73 patients diagnosed with various cardiovascular pathologies, living in the Tébessa region (Algeria). Data are collected through a structured questionnaire designed to document behavioral and physiological risk factors. Among these participants, 25 provided blood samples, which are analyzed to perform a biochemical profile and measure the concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Our findings reveal that men are at a higher risk of CVDs compared to women. Hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and obesity are more prevalent, accompanied by statistically significant disturbances in biochemical metabolism and redox status. In conclusion, our results indicate that cardiovascular diseases are associated with both biochemical and behavioral disruptions. Early screening, regular health monitoring through blood tests, weight management, physical activity, and smoking cessation are critical recommendations to prevent cardiovascular risk.
