The ABO blood group is one such pivotal genetic determinant that can give valuable information for early detection of risk population. The objective of our study was to assess the relationship between blood group and ischemic heart disease. Method: 200 ischemic heart disease patients were included in this study. Study protocol included detailed clinical history, examination and investigations. Blood groups were determined using the slide haemagglutination technique. Result: In the present study of 200 patients, 45% (90) had blood group B, 30% (60) had blood group A, 16%(32) had blood group O and 9%(18) had blood group AB. A total of 200 patients 150(75%) were Rhpositive, while 50 (25%) were Rh -negative. Conclusion: Ischemic heart disease was higher in patients with blood group B (45%) than in other blood groups. More case control studies with a larger population are needed to confirm this association.
