Key result
In Black Africans undergoing coronary angiography, the presence of CAD was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus (38.5% vs 12.0%, P=0.0002) and dyslipidaemia (67.3% vs 35.9%, P=0.0003).

In black Africans undergoing coronary angiography, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, older age, and male gender were strongly associated with CAD, while hypertension was highly prevalent but not discriminatory.
Kamotho et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=169). Coronary artery disease (CAD) vs. Normal coronary angiogram was evaluated on Diabetes mellitus prevalence (p=0.0002). In Black Africans undergoing coronary angiography, the presence of CAD was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus (38.5% vs 12.0%, P=0.0002) and dyslipidaemia (67.3% vs 35.9%, P=0.0003).
