Abstract
SUMMARY
Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death word wide. In
addition to the other classic risk factors of CAD (smooking , male, sex,
obesity and hypertension), diabetes is recognized as an important risk
factor for coronary artery disease(134).
A body of information is now available suggests the need of
careful consideration not only of diabetes, but also of other disturbances
of glucose metabolism, such as impaired glucose tolerance and impaired
fasting glucose, that have emerged as an important risk factor for
cardiovascular disease mortality. Moreover, several prospective studies
have shown a significant correlation between glycemic variables and
morbidity from coronary heart disease in patients with normal glucose
tolerance(46).
HbA1c level was the glycemic variable having the higher
correlation with CHD .
At this study we aimed at correlating glycated haemoglobin level
with the severity of coronay artery disease in non-diabetic patients
presented with acute coronary syndrome.
History taken from all patients including (age, sex, obesity, family
history, previous revascularization).
Clinical examination done for all patients, twelve leaded ECG for
diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and echocardiography also done
for all patients.
Blood sample taken from all patients and sent to the laboratory for
analysis (glycated hemoglobin level, serum cardiac biomarkers, complete
