Aim– To study risk factors of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients

Materials and Methods– Two groups of  diabetic patients ,total 88 patients were studied for common risk factors for diabetes and coronary artery disease, Group A (Patients with coronary artery disease–52 ) and Group B (Patients without coronary artery disease–36) 

Results and discussion: The present study shows that various risk factors like hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity shows positive association with development of CAD in patients with type 2 diabetes, with elevated LDL and low HDL levels having the highest odd’s ratio. The findings of this study can aid in the early and regular screening as well as aggressive management of these conventional risk factors in diabetic patients.
