Association of Inflammatory Mediators with Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients

author

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is regarded as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with the development of CAD and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The goal of this study was to assess the association of tumor necrosis factorα (TNF-α) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) with CAD severity in diabetic patients. Materials & Methods: The cross-sectional protocol of this research was conducted on the referrals (n=81) of Chamran and Alzahra hospitals (Isfahan, Iran) in 2012. The severity of CAD was determined using angiographic findings and Gensini scoring system. TNF-α and hsCRP were measured in addition to some routine parameters. For statistical analysis, Chi-square test was used. Results: Of the patients, 57 were male (70.3%) and 24 (29.6%) were female with a mean age of 54.2 years. In addition, a significant relationship was found out between the severity of CAD and level of hsCRP and TNFa (p

Association of the CETP TaqIB Polymorphism with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract      Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) TaqIB polymorphism is associated with changes in lipid profile and may be a risk factor for CAD in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of CETP TaqIB polymorphism with CAD in...

The Association of Glomerular Filtration Rate with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus can influence coronary artery disease (CAD) independently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and CAD in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study evaluated 3624 T2DM patients with clinical presentation of CAD whose documents were registe...

Association of Hyperhomocysteinemia with Coronary Artery Disease in Southern Iran

Background: Differences in the prevalence and impact of hyperhomocytenemia on vascular disease between countries and races have been reported. Most studies have been undertaken in North American and European populations and the importance of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) level as a risk factor for coronary artery disease in the Middle East particularly in Iran, however, is not known.  Object...
