Abstract
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death globally, currently accounting for 17 million deaths per year, and projected to increase to more than 23 million by 2030. Although the death rate from CAD has fallen, the prevalence of risk factors continues at an alarming level. Lowering the prevalence of CAD is the most urgent matter, and is pleiotropic since it caused by widespread risk factors as blood pressure, lipid profiles, glucose metabolism, inflammation, blood rheology and atherothrombotic immunological disease progression indicators. Purpose: This study payed an interest to laser watch effect on interfered risk factors (hypertension, high blood viscosity, hypercholesterolemia and immunological elements that correlated closely to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease in high risk stage I hypertensive women. Patients and Methods: One hundred stage I hypertensive women, from 55-65 years old, were recruited in this controlled randomized study form Sers El-layan General Hospital, Mnofia, Internal Medicine, Outpatient Clinic. Patients divided into control and study groups.The study group received low level laser (650 nm) by application of laser watch, diet recommendations and traditional medications for 3 months. The control group followed the same procedure but received placebo laser. Blood pressure, CD8+, IL-17A, blood viscosity and lipid profile were measured for both groups before and after the study period
