Background & Objectives: There is growing evidence that the relationship between coping ways with stress and Coronary Heart Disease.Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relation between coping ways with stress and IL-6 immunologic biomarker in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) when faced with a stressful event.
Materials & Methods: Statistical community was all CHD patients referred to Shahid Rajaie Heart Hospital in Tehran in 2012. 44 patients with CHD were chosen from eligible patients. In this study, coping ways questionnaire of Lazarus and Folkman, human IL-6 kit and Stroop color test software were used. For statistical analysis of survey data, statistical methods of mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were utilized. Computer software for data processing in this study was SPSS-17.
Results: The results indicated that, when the patients face with a stressful event, there are significant positive correlation (P<0.001, R=0.635) between emotional focused coping ways with IL-6 immunologic biomarker and significant negative correlation (P<0.001, R=-0.698) between problem focused coping ways and IL-6 immunologic biomarker. Also, when the patients face with a stressful event, from 8 coping ways with stress confidently of 0.99, only positive re-evaluation has significant predict for IL-6 immunologic biomarker (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Results showedthat, when the patients face with a stressful event, the increased use of emotional focused coping ways leads to increase in the level of biomarker IL-6, and increased use of problem focused coping ways leads to decrease in level of biomarker IL-6.

Background: The use of coping strategies with stress in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, can lead to significant changes in fasting blood sugar (FBS) level, but researchers have not empirically explored it. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between coping strategies with stress and FBS level in CHD patients.
Materials and methods: This descriptive and correlative study was conducted in 2011. Study population was all patients who had referred to Shahid Rajaie Heart Hospital. A total of 44 CHD patients hospitalized in internal wards for women and men, and private units, whose coronary artery occlusion had been confirmed by angiography, were selected by judgmental sampling method. In this study, Lazarus and Folkman's Coping Questionnaire, and blood sugar kit (Pars Azmoon Company) were used. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression, in SPSS 17.
Results: The results showed that, there was a significant positive correlation between emotion-based coping strategies and FBS (r=0.680, P

Background and objective: Using Coping Styles with Stress in coronary heart disease patients can lead to significant changes in levels of CRP. But up to now researchers have not explored it empirically. So, The main objective of this study was to recognize the relationship between Coping Ways with Stress and Biomarker CRP and also discovering Coping Styles which predict changes in the concentration of CRP.
Materials and methods: This descriptive-correlational study was carried out in 2001. The statistical sample is CHD patients who referred to Tehran Shahid Rajaie Heart Hospital, 44 patients with CHD selected through judgmental sampling method. These patients suffer from coronary artery disease which was approved by angiography. Coping Ways questionnaire- Lazarus and kit of CRP (produced by Pars Azmoon Co) were used. Indicators and descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis with stepwise method with significant level 0/01 were used for statistical analysis of research data. The computer software used in this study for data processing was SPSS/17.
Results: The results showed there are Positive and significant correlation between Emotional Focused Coping Styles with Stress (Inefficient) and CRP and negative and significant correlation between Problem Focused Coping Styles with Stress (Efficient) and CRP. The impact factor of positive re-evaluation coping way according to the T test indicate that among 8ways of coping ways only this kind of variable with 99% confidence can be predicted the changes related to CRP.
Conclusion: This study showed that the increase of Application in Emotional Focused Coping Styles (Inefficient) lead to increase in levels of CRP and increase in using Problem Focused Coping Styles (Efficient) lead to decrease in levels of CRP.

Background and objective: Due to the increasing incidence and prevalence of coronary heart disease and emphasis on researchers of Health on Association Biological and psychological factors and cardiac biomarkers with incidence and persistence of cardiovascular disease are felt more than ever necessary to analyze the relationship between Coping Ways with Stress and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), But until now researchers have not explored it empirically, So The aim of this study was to examine the relation between Coping Ways with Stress and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in Coronary Heart Disease patients.
Materials and methods: This is a correlation study. Statistical community were All patients CHD Shahid Rajaie Heart Hospital in Tehran. 44 patients with CHD admitted to the women and men surgical department surgery, women and men local department and private sector hospitals that CHD confirmed by angiography had been chosen from among eligible patients.Condition.In this study was used of Coping Ways questionnaire- Lazarus and Folkman and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) kit. For statistical analysis of research data was usedIndicators and descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis with stepwise method. The computer software used in this study for data processing was SPSS/17.
Results: The results showed there are Positive and significant correlation between Emotional Focused Coping Ways(Inefficient) and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)and also Negative and significant correlation between Problem Focused Coping Ways(Efficient) and Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and coefficient of positive re-evaluation coping way (β=-0/737) according to the T test show that the variables with 99% confidence can be predicted to the changes related to Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and also coefficients of positive re-evaluation and Responsibility coping ways according to the T test show that the variables with 99% confidence can be predicted to the changes related to Low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
Conclusion: In sum, we conclude that the increased use of Emotional Focused Coping Ways lead to increases in levels of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)and increased in the use of Problem Focused Coping Ways lead to decreased in levels of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
