Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The C-peptide-to-insulin ratio (C/I) is associated with hepatic insulin clearance and insulin resistance. The current study was designed to establish a novel C/I index (CPIRI) model and provide early risk assessment of CAD.
