Study Data from NRS Medical College and Hospital Provide New Insights into Obesity and Diabetes (Comparative study among the patients with different coronary risk factors for detection of asymptomatic coronary artery disease by treadmill test...).

A study conducted at NRS Medical College and Hospital in West Bengal, India, aimed to compare different coronary risk factors, such as dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension (HTN), and obesity, in relation to coronary artery disease (CAD) and early detection of ischemic heart disease. The study included 170 patients with one or more coronary risk factors, and the stress treadmill test (TMT) was performed on all patients. Dyslipidemia and HTN were found to be significantly associated with positive TMT results and CAD. However, diabetes mellitus and obesity were not statistically significant in this regard.
