ABSTRACT
The increased incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is not fully explained by the conventional risk factors. Our aim was to determine the association of biomarkers, high sensitive CRP and anticardiolipin antibody (acL) with severity of coronary artery disease in patients with and without type 2 DM. In our study, hsCRP level was significantly high in CAD with DM and found to be positively correlated with severity (p<0.01) while anticardiolipin antibody does not show any significant change among the two groups. Our study concluded that increased risk of CAD in type 2 DM patients is not only because of dyslipidemia but inflammatory events also play a major role. hsCRP was found to be a valuable predictor for CAD in type 2 DM.
