The presented study focuses on the main role of leptin and lipid profile level in Iraqi patients with unstable angina to indicate the main risk factors thatplay a role with their elevation. This is a case control study conducted on (37) unstable angina patients and (20) healthy control who were closely similar by age, gender and BMI.The main statistical analysis used was student t test, linear regression test and correlation test. Significance was set at P < 0.05. Sampling method used forthis study was convenience sampling method. The main results of this study showed that leptin and lipid profile specifically LDL, TG, TC and VLDL are the main biomarker for the future incidence of unstable angina in Iraqi patients. Doctors should focus on both leptin level and lipid profile level as biomarkers for future incidence of unstable angina patients.
