Microalbuminuria and coronary heart disease in non-diabetics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microalbuminuria (or urinary albumin excretion rates (AER) above normal limits) is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) particularly in diabetics. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of AER for CHD in a non-diabetic population we prospectively studied 115 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography and 66 undergoing exercise electrocardiography (ECG). There was no relationship between AER and the severity of CHD determined by angiography (Gensini-scored). While microalbuminuria (AER > 20 micrograms/minute) was 91% specific it had low sensitivity (12%). Microalbuminuria is not a sensitive indicator of CHD in a non-diabetic population.

Insulin resistance and coronary artery disease in non-diabetic patients: Is there any correlation?
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death in the world and type 2 diabetes is one of them because it is highly prevalent and doubles heart disease risk. Some studies suggest that insulin resistance is associated with coronary artery disease in non-diabetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of insulin resistance (IR) and coronary artery disease...

متن کاملMicroalbuminuria correlates with the prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease in non-diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND It has been shown that microalbuminuria is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in diabetics, hypertensive patients and in the general population. However, few data has addressed the correlation of microalbuminuria with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the study was to assess the association of microalbuminuria with the prevalence and severi...
