In the present study the investigators will measure the extent of coronary artery disease via coronary angiography and the correlating risk factors.
Description: We will investigate the incidence, extent and clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease in diabetics and non-diabetics undergoing coronary angiography for clinical reasons.
Measure: The incidence and extent of coronary artery disease between diabetics and non-diabetic patients. Time: Up to four years on average.Description: To associate the incidence, extent and clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease with classic demographic risk factors (such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical exercise, arterial hypertension, family history of diabetes mellitus or coronary artery disease) and common biochemical risk factors (such as fasting glucose levels, urea, creatinine, HbA1c%, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, VLDL, glomerular filtration rate - GFR).
Measure: The incidence and extent of coronary artery disease via coronary angiography scores and related biochemical and demographical risk factors. Time: Up to 4 years on average.Description: To associate the incidence, extent and clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease with systemic inflammatory status assessed by hs-CRP levels, circulating adipokines (adiponectin, resistin) and the receptors of advanced glycation end products (sRAGE and esRAGE).
Measure: The incidence, extent and clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease and the circulating levels of hs-CRP, adipokines and RAGEs. Time: Up to 4 years on average.Description: To associate the incidence, extent and clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease with the rs7903146 single nucleotide polymorphism of TCF7L2 gene, that has been strongly associated with diabetes mellitus development.
Measure: TCF7L2 gene polymorphims and the incidence and extent of coronary artery disease. Time: Within a maximum period of 4 years.Case-Control
