Association of anthropometric measurements with angiographic findings among diabetic patients with coronary artery disease

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is one of the modifiable risk factors of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications viz. coronary artery disease (CAD). Scientific evidence indicates a stronger association of angiographic severity with obesity. This study aimed to compare the association of different anthropometric measurements with angiographic severity among diabetic patients with CAD and evaluate its usefulness.
