C A D )
Objectives: To compare serum leptin in C A D patients with control
Patient: We studied two hundred adult Individuals consisting of equal number of patients and normal control
Results: The serum leptin level is 17.57+4.39 S D in C A D patients as compared to normal control 6.82+3.05
S D . It is high in 109 in obese as compared to normal BMI 24 ( P=<.05) irrespective of cardiac status .It is high
(11.75+5.64 ) in female patients as compared to (11.07+4.77 S D ) male patients.
Conclusion: The serum leptin level in C A D patients is significantly raised as compared to normal control. It is
significantly high in obese patients. It is significantly high in female patients as compared to male patients .Higher
