Coronary arteries were studied for severity of stenosis defined by using Quantitative CoronaryAngiography(QCA),for both groups. Using SPSS version 15, data was analyzed. A p value=0.05 wasconsidered significant. I
Results: A total number of 200 patients were enrolled in the study with age ranged between 38-84 years. 152were males (76%) and 48 females (24%)so male : female ratio was 3:1.In this study there was difference between diabetic and non diabetic cases according to site and severity ofcoronary artery involvement, revealing significant statistical difference (p value <0.05) between diabeticand non diabetic among LAD, left circumflex (LCX) and RCAinvolvement.
