Background & Aims: Type 2 diabetes is associated with significant cardiac morbidity and mortality with a more than threefold increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to assess the serum concentrations of lipoprotein (a) and lipid profile indexes as predictors for CAD in Sudanese type 2 diabetics compared to healthy subjects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
