Why the study?
Are inflammatory parameters (NHR, LHR, PHR) associated with angiographic atherosclerotic burden in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease?
Population
418 patients with coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography, including 98 with type 2…
Design
Cohort
Key result
In patients with coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes was associated with significantly higher atherosclerotic burden (mean SYNTAX score 18.5 vs 11.6) and elevated inflammatory markers compared to non-diabetic patients.

NHR/LHR/PHR may correlate with CAD severity in diabetes; leaves open whether they improve risk stratification beyond standard markers.

Are inflammatory parameters (NHR, LHR, PHR) associated with angiographic atherosclerotic burden in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease?
Inflammatory ratios involving HDL are elevated in diabetic patients with CAD and correlate with angiographic severity of atherosclerosis.
Absolute Event Rate: 18.5% vs 11.6%
p-value: p=<0.001
Veysel Tosun (2023) conducted an observational in Coronary Artery Disease (n=418). Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus vs. Non-diabetic patients was evaluated on SYNTAX score (p=<0.001). In patients with coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes was associated with significantly higher atherosclerotic burden (mean SYNTAX score 18.5 vs 11.6) and elevated inflammatory markers compared to non-diabetic patients.
