Abstract in brief

This study investigated how Ramadan fasting affects cardiovascular risk factors in patients with existing heart-related conditions, finding that fasting led to significant improvements in 10-year coronary heart disease risk scores and various blood markers.
After Ramadan, participants showed higher levels of HDL cholesterol, white and red blood cells, and platelets, and lower levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and waist circumference, indicating potential heart health benefits.
However, some factors like fasting blood sugar, insulin, homocysteine, inflammation markers, and diastolic blood pressure did not show significant changes, suggesting that not all cardiovascular risk factors are affected by Ramadan fasting.]
