Evaluation of Clinical, Demographic, and Biochemical Profiles of Trinidadian Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography. Annals of the National Academy of Medical Sciences. 2023 Apr; 58(2): 90-960379-038Xhttp://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/220210Background: Trinidad and Tobago ranks number 45 in the world for total deaths due to coronary heart disease. Predictive tests for coronary angiographic results set the basis for earlier monitoring of the disease before additional complications become obvious. Aims and Methods?This study aimed to evaluate the anthropometric and biochemical parameters of 124 patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in Trinidad and how these parameters correlate to the findings at angiography. Results?The biochemical parameters showed statistically significant correlations with CAD severity by Spearman's rank-order correlation. Two clinical parameters showed significant associations with CAD severity—ethnicity (?2 (4)?=?12.925, p?=?0.012) and presence of type 2 diabetes at baseline (?2 (4)?=?21.483, p?<?0.001). Conclusion?Biochemical parameters such as fasting blood sugar, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide, creatinine, and hemoglobin A1c were well correlated and well associated with the severity of CAD after diagnosis by the process of coronary angiography. Hence, these factors can be taken into consideration to predict the severity of CAD.coronary angiographycoronary artery diseaseglycated hemoglobindiabetes mellitusNT-proBNPJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Preclinical Sciences, The University of the West Indies, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Trinidad and Tobago, West IndiesDepartment of Pre-Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and TobagoMultidisciplinary Research Unit, Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences, Shivamogga, Karnataka, IndiaDepartment Adult Medicine Unit, Department of Clinical Medical Sciences, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and TobagoDepartment of Biochemistry, Panimalar Medical College Hospital & Research Institute, Varadharajapuram, Poonamallee, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, IndiaDepartment of Biochemistry, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
