Abstract
SYNTAX Score (SS) is the most comprehensive anatomical characterization of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). With significant population of diabetics and hypertensive patients in India, the vulnerability to a possible coronary artery disease catastrophe increases many folds. In this retrospective study, SS of 957 patients that underwent coronary angiography was calculated. The patients were then classified on bases of age, gender, and comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension. The results suggest that amongst the groups, diabetics had statistically significant higher Syntax score than their non-diabetic counterparts, with p<0.05.
